praise to the Lord for His mighty blessings |
Psalms 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? With a mere whisper, He breathed life into me Twice blessed by Him, He restored my breathe before it was forever lost The valley filled with death’s shadow was not allowed to consume me, for God claimed my soul Whom shall I fear when the Lord walks with me? Yesterday was forgiven, forgotten and left behind; my sins cast away He mended my broken heart and gave peace to my tortured soul; in a quiet voice that roared like a lion, He declared me His child and gave His promise that He would always be with me. No matter how much or how hard I cry, He will catch every tear and soothe my sorrow Even standing in His shadow brings security and peace to my soul Swallowed by darkness with enemies surrounding me, Satan plotted to send me to Hell God said no, that evil shall not prevail against me because He had a room waiting for me in His kingdom The light He shone chased away the darkness and caused evil to flee from me Precious talents were given, not to be buried or stored away, but used to praise and glorify Him Out of my mouth, I will extol the name of the Lord in what I do, what I say and what I create because I carry His name and He will accept nothing but my best. He told me that at a word, I could cast mountains into the sea. Though my faith and my confidence are shaken; my heart confused and conflicted; if the world turns against me; if love will never be my blessing and all have forsaken me, my God said I would never know a day without His love or His shelter. I may sit quietly contemplating, same place, different Sunday, without a shout, a holy dance or a hallelujah, but my heart is a boisterous thing. When it shouts, it’s loud enough for the angels to hear and rejoice with me. A wise man once told me that I was a pearl of great worth. It was something was that unbelievable to me, an unattainable goal. But God put me on a pedestal that cannot be moved or broken and it is protected by the Lord’s hand. In Him I have a price far above rubies, that none can touch, taint or destroy. This is my love letter to my Savior. This is my testimony to the saints, loved ones and friends. |
