Psalm 23:1-6
To live at peace in the Presence of The Lord
brings Joy to my longing heart.
I’ll meditate upon His Word
each gracious new day’s start.
The harmful souls, who seek my ill
must answer to His Voice.
I live each day for His blest will.
He knows each helpful choice.
To sit and sup before the hordes
of enemies opposed
shows Jesus Christ is truly Lord
of greatest music composed.
But focus on the ones, who frown
reduces joy for me.
Let pleasure in The Lord abound,
that grace in me they’d see.
Let talking be for their own good.
The noises are of naught.
Distractions will not change my mood
for Jesus my heart bought.
The days of usefulness are here.
My Lord, He knows the path.
When I do lie in Earth’s cold bier,
The Lord and I will laugh.
My days of earthly service done
give way to Heaven’s work.
Eternal work is joyful fun
I’d never think to shirk.
