Jubilant
“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.” Psalm 28:7 of the King James Bible
Jubilant am I to stand by God’s well of abundant blessings
Daily the Lord invites me there for fellowship’s joy
Assuring me His constant wondrous presence
Marked by sovereign protection!
Jubilant am I to draw living waters from God’s salvation vessel
Whenever I lose my joy because of arrogance and doubt
There I remember Christ’s sacrifice for my ransom
With His compassion toward my forgiveness!
Jubilant am I to stay freely at God’s contentment-pasture
As the Saviour welcomes me to His offered satisfaction
Comforting my soul, soothing my weariness
By His care where my spirit is replenished!
Jubilant am I to get near God’s sanctuary of revival
Vanquishing despair over my earthly existence
To seek the Almighty and His empowerment
Ready to strengthen my faith!
Jubilant am I to linger ever more around God’s refreshing favour
As the Prince of peace meets me for divine communion
Listening to my plight, answering my queries
With His enlightening wisdom!
