My Light and My Salvation - Psalm 27: 1-4

There is only one true light who shines through all my heart He is also my living salvation keeping me secure in no small part I have no need of being in fear for Jesus is my mighty stronghold all my enemies will ultimately fall faith in my Lord Jesus makes me bold My confidence is in my Lord even if an army stands against me I'll stand taller on His shoulder by His grace, I've been set free Lord, please give me one thing for all my life may I eternally dwell in your house under God's blessing to drink from my salvation's well In God's temple there inquiring gazing on the Lord's beauty divine Psalm 27 is my very favorite one David's words spell salvation's light mine (Psalm 27: 1-4(ESV) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet[b] I will be confident. One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.)

Congratulations, and excellent post, Gordon. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the spiritual message. I am very proud of you. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of "God's Light and Salvation" stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace and blessings to you always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!
