Be at Rest Once More, O my Soul

Be at rest once more, O my soul
for the Lord has been good to you
Remember, He has been good to you all the time
He did allow you to walk through pain and problems
But has He ever left you to walk alone?

His hand of mercy was always there to help you
And His tender whispers gave you the strength to walk ahead
When frightened and cried for help, His arms  always reached out to rescue you
In times of sickness, He gave you the healing
When loved ones passed away, His comfort enveloped you like a soft cushion
Have you forgotten the time, He stopped a winter blizzard at your cry and took you and yours to safety?

So why are you troubled now, O my soul?
Why are you so downhearted?
Just look back at the road you've traveled
And see how the Lord had been good to you. 
Be at rest once more , my soul
for the Lord's goodness will never leave you!

Meditation on Psalm 19

O Sovereign God,
The heavens declare the Your glory
  the skies proclaim the work of Your hands
Day after day they pour forth speech
   night after night they display knowledge

There is no speech nor language
   where their voices are not heard
Their voices go out through out the earth
   their words to the ends of the world.

In the sky You have pitched a tent for the sun
  which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion
Like a champion rejoicing to run his course
   It rises at one end of the earth
And makes its circuit to the other
   nothing is hidden from its heat.

Your ways are perfect
  reviving the soul
Your statutes are trustworthy
  making even the simple wise
Your precepts are right
 giving joy to the heart
Your commands are radiant
  giving light to the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is pure
  enduring forever
The ordinances of the Lord are sure
  and altogether righteous.
They are more precious than gold
  than much pure gold
They are sweeter than honey
   than honey from the comb.
By them is Your servants warned
  in keeping them there is great reward.

May the words of my mouth and the
  meditation  of my heart be pleasing in Your sight
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer!

Let this be Written

 Let this be written for a future generation
   that a people not yet created may praise the Lord
 Let them know that He is worthy to be praised
 His power and majesty are evident in the creations all around us
 His unending love all before us to embrace
 No time has He abandoned those who put their trust in Him
 No man can make Him to give up on us however sinful we maybe

Oh come and taste the goodness of the Lord
Bow down and worship the One who made the heaven and earth
The foolish can tell that there's no God
But those who have eyes to see and ears to hear
can only raise their voices in praises
Even the blind have raised their voices in worship
thanking the Lord for His goodness and mercy
the lame had walked in His strength
and the mute have voiced God's goodness in great paintings
Even if the mankind go  silent and tell no more of God's greatness
the birds and butterflies, the trees and mountains
the stars above and oceans below would shout and declare them
for generation not yet created to praise and pray to the God almighty!

Psalm 71 in my words

O God, I'll always have hope
And I'll praise You more and more
Doubts and dryness do come and go
but I'll continue to grow in You day by day

My mouth will tell of Your righteousness
Of Your faithfulness  all day long
I will continue to proclaim Your mighty acts
O Sovereign Lord
though I know not its measure

Since my youth, O God, You have taught me
And to this day, I declare Your marvelous deeds
Even when I'm old and gray as I'm today
I declare Your goodness to the next generation.

Your righteousness reaches to the skies
Your amazing grace stretches out like vast oceon
Though You have made me walk through troubles
some bitter and painful
Yet, You were there always to walk beside me
Your presence never left me to face the struggle alone

I will praise You till my last breath
My mouth shall praise You with joyful lips
My tongue will tell of Your righteous acts all day long
Yes, my God, I will continue to worship forever!
