Rest In the Lord (See Psalm 37)
REST IN THE LORD (See Psalm 37)
Awakening from sleep, in my mind I think, I need a canvas quickly to seek
And a thought comes into my mine, the scene you create with today’s time
The portray appearing at days end, what will it be, that at days end my eyes see
Knocking on heaven’s door, I ask and seek, this picture, that it may be complete
Then I think to stop and thank the Lord above for another day of life he gives
For allowing my heart within to beat another day, for opening my eyes again
For I know this day will be unlike non other day before, and I see an open door
To make memories and milestones and go to places I hAve never been before
Joys, tears, fears inner twine round about within corners deep inside my mind
Thoughts of yesteryear go about whirling round and round time after time
Picturesque visions of time stand boldly, as if here, so colorful in vision I see
Keeping alive love of others once given so free, long ago once upon a time, to me
And a smile upon my face appears that hardly a soul upon earth could erase
The gift of Jesus, my friend who like no other, sticketh closer than a brother
Given to all, on this earth whom within their heart receive the word, big or small
God’s promises he keeps, every last one my friend, you may count, He shall keep
This new day, where and how it goes, that only my God alone on high is able to know
Where he leads me, where he leaves me, he knows, it is truly He that first loved me so
You nor I that loved him first, this in His word we must believe, though our hearts hurt
Peaceful waters now once again flow where the enemy had thought to throw his darts.
