My Ultimate Clinging -Psalm 63: 8

All mankind is weak at heart
we are helpless and hopeless to a tee
our sin wraps us around its finger
tripping us up always so very easily

But there is a way to escape
there's one who we can pursue
all power and grace belong to him
out of His perfect love all things He can do

Pursue this God who is eternal
be passionately pursuing His person
cling closely for He is able
to bless you indeed His will be done

Make your soul be close to God
for His right hand to you will uphold
what greater security can you have?
the Lord God more precious than gold


(Psalm 63:8 New International Version (NIV)
 I cling to you;
    your right hand upholds me.)

Hi Gordon, Temptation is always lurking and what is important here is the free will which mankind was given by God. Just a small example. I put a box of quality street chocolates between my husband and myself, and he said please take them away , no darling, I said, practise your will power! Lovely poem, Best regards, Jennifer.

Thanks, Jennifer, Glad you liked it and an interesting example of free will, I would have another view on free will and God's perspective on it but no time tonight, maybe another occasion. Blessings, Gordon
