Through sin, I myself defiled,
Which led me to paths deep and wild
But in Love He reached down,
And this wretch, He has found
So redeemed, He now counts me His Child.

The Lord is my Shepherd dear,
I shall ne'er be in want with Him near
Tho' dark valleys I see,
He is right here with me
For His Righteousness sake, I endure.

He invites all the weary to come,
Yes, He calls, this great Comforting One
Take His yoke upon you,
And learn of Him too
You can find your true help in God's Son.

The LORD is the true King of kings,
Winged healing to all He brings
To save our doomed race
By His generous Grace
It's of Him, that my heart e'er sings!

David, this is wonderful and I love how you wove in the 23rd psalm. You are poetically soaring on this vacation! Love, Ellie

David, Truly inspiring 'tis.

"The Lord is my Shepherd dear,
I shall ne'er be in want with Him near
Tho' dark valleys I see,
He is right here with me
For His Righteousness sake, I endure."

Yes, we still have valleys but thank God we know He's near. Agreeing with Ms. ellie, I loved how you put a personal twist on the Psalms.

ps: doing a great job with the new looks at the forums, hurray!     marcy

David,
  Only you would think of praising GOD even with Limericks. You never cease to amuse, oops, I mean amaze me with how clever you are!
