My Worship-Filled Psalm
My God, I thank Thee for protecting me, securing my salvation
Transforming me through Thy omnipotent conversion
Guarding my soul by Thy mighty protection…
…So I can dwell in heaven’s mansion.
My Lord, I praise Thee, satisfied with Thy grace
Fortifying me upon Thy Scriptures’ brace
Granting my heart great peace, devoid of any worry-trace…
…So I can make it in the spiritual race.
My Commander, I honour Thee along Thy assured victory
Strengthening me in Thy ministry
Arming my faith by Thy truth and Gospel story…
…So I can win as Thy soldier against unrighteous infantry.
My Saviour, I adore Thee for being my light
Guiding me from worldly blight
Meeting my needs, responding to my plight…
…So I can pray in sweet communion’s delight.
My Teacher, I learn from Thee as Thou chasten my idleness
Correcting me toward effective usefulness
Awakening my selfishness by Thy warning against slothfulness…
…So I can bear fruit in Thy bountifulness.
My Master, I esteem Thee while Thou uphold my commitment
Working in me toward profitable stewardship’s engagement
Rewarding my labour by Thy encouraging assessment…
…So I can serve well according to Thy commandment.
My Christ, I worship* Thee in my spirit’s glad revival
Ushering me to Thy altar of glorious fellowship-upheaval
Empowering my service by Thy compassion’s divine festival…
…So I can obey with love for Thee, waiting earnestly for Thy arrival.
*Psalm 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
