O Lord My God

O Lord my God, my strength and consolation In every walk, thy voice has been my guide When I am weak, and most in need of comfort Inside me still, thy spirit doth abide When I am lost, I feel thy sweet forgiving Thou calleth me, to glorify thy ways Thy path is peace, thy Word is true salvation In all thy works, thy holiness displays If I remain, in humble adoration I know my heart, will fly on angel wings To hear Thy voice, and rise in exultation In tears of joy, and gratitude it brings In countless ways, His Holy Spirit prompts us To follow Him, and do what He would do At every turn, through tears of tribulation He lights the way, to guide and help us through If we are true, our souls will rise to meet Him And oh what joy, will fill our hearts that day To feel His wounds, in resurrection's glory And know our sins, have all been washed away He calls on us, to join that sweet occasion The gathering, of those who sing His praise The humble few, who seek to know His wisdom And magnify, the glory of His ways When we are weak, and most in need of comfort And storms of life, obstruct us on our way He speaks to us, in loving words of kindness When we lose hope, and worry day-to-day He came to earth, to plead for our redemption And for the price, His righteous blood was shed When we believe, that Christ is our salvation Then we are free, as He Himself has said When He returns, in majesty and power The humble few, will rise to meet Him then To sing His praise, in joyful adoration And know the Lord, has come to earth again.

What a beautiful lyric of hope and consolation Bryan. This lyric echoes perfectly How Great Thou Art making it an easy song to sing, which I did, as I read it! Congratulations on your win! Blessings to you!

Thank you, Sam. To write a poem like this certainly requires an appropriate state of mind. When I was done, I felt the presence of someone in the room with me, lending me their support. I meant this as song. Like you, I sang this to the tune of "How Great Thou Art." Thus, you have given me the ultimate (and only) comment. Thank you so much. Best wishes, Bryan
