"The Lord is My Light" Psalm 27:1

Monday, February 28, 2011

This gentle God who leads me
Tenderly along
Who gives me every reason
To live, to breathe, to work,
To give my voice in song -
I have seen
So many blessings
I have heard so many
Truths,
I have walked in lighted paths;
I rest my head
'Neath shelt'ring roofs.
I am free
For He is with me
I have strength,
For He is strong
I have comfort all about me
Though the road be hard and long,
I am safe for He is near me
I can dare for He is great,
I have faith for he has healed me,
and he makes my pathways straight.
When I search for Him, he reaches
When I seek, I surely find
When I look, he sees and touches
In my heart and in my mind
When I need, he gives me comfort
When I yearn, he calms my heart
And each day of life that passes
I see ever more a part
of his great wisdom,
And His love.

Who can say
What God hath done
Or count the ways
The Lord hath blessed my life
In this single day?

I am so grateful for His mercy,
For his grace.
He looks on me with loving eyes,
He reaches to my humble life
And touches me
And teaches me
To follow truth and light.

He is forever kind,
Forever there,
Forever mindful
Of my needs.

He hears my prayer
When I am fallen on my knees
He hears my pleas
And strengthens me.
When I am most afraid,
He hears me cry
He knows that I
Have need of Him,
And He is kind. 

I cannot find
The words to say
The gratitude I feel inside
To my everlasting God,
To Jesus,
To my dearest brother,
And my Savior,
Whom I love.  
I will praise His name forever,
I will sing these songs of joy unending
To my highest Lord,
And greatest God.
