Psalms 19 (KJV)
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Once, I was young – so very new
To the ways of this world,
The ways of creation’s moving,
Stirrings of lives who refuse to pray,
Waste their time, working away,
Praising creation, but never the Creator
The One who came, to save souls from everlasting
Shame, disgrace, hell that shall never allow
The heart, the soul, the spirit….
To feel the music of God’s heavenly wonders
The peace, the hope, the everlasting joy,
The song of grace, the winds of a place,
Time will never erase – a place of faith,
Where prayers are ever spoken, where love is bold
And wonderful, where life is good, something
Worthwhile, enjoyable, enchanting those who know
He is alive and He will ever abide….
Inside those who know Him as Savior,
The Redeemer, the Creator, the purpose of life,
The reason I can conquer despite the strife,
The notes in the song, the hope that can’t go wrong,
The feeling that never fades beneath the shadows of doubt,
Feelings that are more like grace than merely moods,
Feelings that tell me I’m His, the One who is God’s gift,
The Song of life, the poetry inside, the truth that decides
I’ll always know Him, His love, the wonder from above,
Sent to those who believe – He’ll forever bring
Hope to those who see past the shadow to the breath
Pouring out winds of grace, on wings of faith…
Forever, I’ll say – I love the Creator, who sustains,
Who amazes and who I’m praising…
With everything I say, everything I do,
All that I know and all that I choose.
I praise Him in the morning and I praise Him at twilight
I praise Him in the spring and in the winter’s silence.
I praise Him when I’m glad and still praise Him when I’m sad,
I praise Him because He is the Maker, the Creator, the Savior.
I praise Him because He’s the way, the truth, the life
And because He lives, I have a hope for everlasting –
Because He is mine, I will never have to know what it means
To live in seclusion, to live without a true friend,
To live in a place where there is no joy and peace….
I know this man named Jesus, the love that never leaves me
And because I know Him, and believe Him
I’ll never have to face anything without His assistance.
I’ll never have to know life without the defense of love,
The protection of a Savior who is also my soul’s Creator!
I’m thankful beyond words – I’m thankful and I hope He’s heard
The way I love and praise Him, the One who has been so faithful,
The One who I pray will always stay – where I can embrace Him.
He’s my heart’s best friend, the answer to every need, the One
Who helps me to know what it means to give without expectations,
To live with the anticipation that His love will always be available.
His grace saved me and His love gave me a hope
that is eternally mine,
Hope for a heaven where I’ll live with Him forever!
