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! 2nd place, "Writing Challenge -J Words" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Constance La France; judged on 7/10/2023.
