Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Upright Receive All That's Good - Psalm 84: 11

The Lord God shines like the sun
amidst the beautiful bright blue sky
the Psalmist strikes a lyrical chord
brings divine favour with splendour on high

The Lord God gives grace so plenteous
always sufficient for whatever you need
all of this brings God His own glory
it all started with just a single seed

The Lord God is the author of all good
everything He creates is simply superb
invites all to come and receive
God's very best makes you want to serve

The Lord God looks for the upright
seeking them out for His own plan
being found in the will of God
such blessings come for the faithful stand

The uptight receive all that's good
such goodness comes from God alone
this is sheer mercy and benevolent love
such love Jesus came for our sins to atone

(For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    the Lord bestows favour and honour.
No good thing does he withhold
    from those who walk uprightly.)
Psalm 84: 11(ESV)
