Finding Blessings In God Alone - Psalm 119: 1-8
The way of blessedness is walking in God
keeping to His law through every step
being blameless brings richest blessing
when your heart is seeking in every footstep
Be sure that your testimony be true
to be ever sure to do no wrong
for the Lord has commanded diligence
be given to His law for you be strong
Cry aloud to make your ways true
so that you be never put to shame
please fix these eyes always upon you
never to depart your law ever the same
Learn well the commandments of the Lord
to do them in practice to be true
in your heart of hearts be upright
striving always to be righteous and true
Vow to your heavenly father
to keep all of His sovereign law
please God never do forsake me
for you know my heart all you saw
(This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the first poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119, it'll probably take me a few weeks to put them all on my PS list.)
