Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Lord Is My Strength and My Song - Psalm 118: 8-14

Reason with yourself what's better
taking refuge in the Lord is the best
not even princes are worth trusting
for the Lord alone brings you rest

Nations are all around on every side
in the Lord's name cut them off now
surrounded all around buzzing you
but went out as a fire will bow

In God's name forced them out
the power of the Lord never to fail
being pushed hard nearly falling
but help came taken out of jail

Help comes from the Lord on high
having become your personal salvation
for He is your strength and your song
filled by His spirit in eternal elation

(I have written this for a friend who tested positive to covid19 and for all who share the same suffering and anxiety at this time)

("It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in man.
 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in princes.
All nations surrounded me;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
 They surrounded me like bees;
    they went out like a fire among thorns;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
 I was pushed hard so that I was falling,
    but the Lord helped me.
The Lord is my strength and my song;
    he has become my salvation.)
Psalm 118: 8-14 (ESV)
