Tune: Everlasting Love
('Loved with everlasting love')
Psalm 62
*********
Truly my soul on God waits
His help to me ne'er abates
From Him comes my salvation
I praise, give adoration
He only my rock, defence
I not be moved greatly hence
He only my rock, defence
I not be moved greatly hence
How long will you, enemies
Imagine mischief and seize
On the righteous, your end shall
Come soon, and to all then tell
How you fall as fence or wall
Though you built your towers tall
How you fell as fence or wall
Though you built your towers tall
My soul, wait on God only
My hope is still from Him, see
He only my salvation
And my rock, the holy one
He my defence, safeguard sure
I not be moved evermore
He my defence, safeguard sure
I not be moved evermore
God my salvation, glory
Rock of my strength He e'er be
In Him is my refuge strong
He preserves me all life long
Men at best are vanity
But the Lord eternal be
Men at best are vanity
But the Lord eternal be
Trust not men, but trust the Lord
Assured of His living word
All power to Him belongs
Sing unto Him worthy songs
And He merciful, here see
Rewards each one's work, so be
And He merciful, here see
Rewards each one's work, so be
Trust in Him all times, people
Pour out your hearts, to Him call
Upon Him, our refuge He
And our guardian shall be
Wait on Him, prayer shall He hear
You shall sense His presence near
Wait on Him, prayer shall He hear
You shall sense His presence near

ANGELA HERE ~ GOOD SUNDAY UNCLE STEVE ~ Love the HYMN & the Video. Love the lines
Sky above is brighter BLUE ~ EARTH beneath is softer GREEN ~
Something gleams in every HUE ~ Christless Eyes have never seen !
The concept being that when we are BORN AGAIN we cease to be just GODS CREATURES (A little
higher than the APES) and we become ~ GODS CHILDREN (Just a little lowers than the Angels !) And we perceive everything in a new Spiritual Light ~ even FIDO & SMOKEY ! Two of Gods greatest CREATURES ! I love the ending of PSALM 62
My God offers ME ~ an Eternal Security
It cannnot be defined logically in Manspeak
BUT I experience it 24/7 !
When you commit your Life to GOD
You discover an ANCHOR (I speak as a Sailor)
That will hold firm in the Chaos of Existance
And the Prattle of Godless Intellectuals ~ AMEN
A Psalm a day keeps the DEVIL away !
Blessing & Joy to you & your Playful Pup
Love in the Spirit Angela Brian & Smokey !
