Sing Praise Unto the Lord

Oh, Merciful God, with benevolent care Who guards my little life from above, To you I pray- hold my hand and lead me on, For You are the mighty reservoir of love. Sing ye all praise unto the Lord For well we know He is our Guide (chorus) We see Your love in the charm of blooms We feel it in the chime of winds We hear it in the song of birds We taste it in the warmth of friends Sing ye all praise unto the Lord For well we know He is our Guide (chorus) God’s abiding love comes my way Without asking, it is showered on me. Yesterday, Today and all the days to come That’s how God willed it to be. Sing ye all praise unto the Lord For well we know He is our Guide (chorus) He, my fortress when enemies surround He, my harbor when storms rage He, my comfort when strength wanes He, my ally in the wars I wage Sing ye all praise unto the Lord For well we know He is our Guide (chorus) He lifts me up as I stumble and fall He carries me when I lag behind This limping lamb of His hundredfold Can His love be repaid, flowing in torrent? Sing ye all praise unto the Lord For well we know He is our Guide (chorus) In my sinful heart, Oh Lord, you come n’ bide And with your loving presence, lift my load Then my soul, in blissful state will reside And nothing more in life, I shall need! Sing ye all praise unto the Lord For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)

Great lyrical work that could be set to music. Way to go. If for a contest, it reads like it could be a good contender to me. Way to go. 👏 Sara K.

Such a superb poem conveys a profound gratitude for God's presence, love, and protection in all facets of life, dear Valsa. It focuses on the notion that God's love is all-pervasive and unconditional, offering consolation and fortitude throughout trying times. The recurrent chorus places a strong emphasis on appreciating and praising God's role as a guide. Best for a win
