This one was inspired by Psalms 23.


Tonight I rejoice in earnest
To the greatness of the Lord
I magnify His name in song
As I lift Him up in praise

Only the Lord can give me
That in which I come to seek
He alone holds the power to heal
My body, mind, and soul

Lord, You are my Savior
Through You I have been granted
The promise of everlasting life
Being born again into Your fold

You are my Shepherd, Lord
Leading me to quiet waters
Feeding me in lush pastures
I fear not while You are with me

Thanks to Your sweet grace
My cup shall runneth over
Even when I am with my enemies
You give me the strength to overcome

I have pledged to follow You
Dwelling in Your house forevermore
For only in You am I truly alive
All hail the Lord God Almighty

I lift my voice to You
With all that I am
I seek shelter in the fold
Knowing I am never alone

I shall praise You, Lord
Today, tomorrow, always
Giving all glory to You
Through You anything is possible

I give thanks to You
For granting me courage
During times of trial
For You will prevail

All I have to do
Is call upon the name of the Lord
And my every need shall be satisfied
By the mercy of His love

Lone Wolf,

Your poem sings.... "All Glory be to God on High.... all Blessings and Honor and Praise be to our God!!!!"  This is a marvelous Praise poem as is the 23 Psalm.  Oh, I did catch the picture before the site disappeared.  Thanks for sharing.  Bob <><
