Truly Trusting

orchidee



Tune: Roll Call

('When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound')

Psalm 34 v.1-9

*********

I will bless the LORD true at all times throughout life's stages, rhymes

His praise shall be in my mouth, let fresh begin

My soul to make her boast now sure in the LORD evermore

The humble, they shall hear, be glad, no more sad

 

Chorus

O magnify the LORD with me

How great His works, His wonders be

Come, praise His name together, free

Offer him thanks, worship Him continually

 

I sought the LORD and He did me hear, delivered me from fears

Looking now unto Him we by faith Him view

So we be lightened, radiant, and we be to Him attent

Our faces they not ashamed nor faring poor - Chorus

 

I was a poor man, unto the LORD called, and He heard my word

And saved me out then of my troubles, was when

I prayed, did seek Him, and He knew all my cares, He did them view

Helped me, guided me, for it be His grace, see - Chorus

 

The angle of the LORD camps around those who fear Him, they sound

And safe kept, for He does deliver them, we

Can come, taste, see, the LORD is good, supplies spiritual food

Blessed are they that do trust Him e'er, He does care - Chorus

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in: Verses: 15.11.15.11. metre, and Chorus: 8.8.8.11. metre. Not the easiest poem to construct. It rhymes mid-line on every line of the verses. I chose the layout: 9.6. 5.6. 8.7. 8.3. then put those pairs of lines together. This sounds like Bingo now!

          One can't beat a bit of separating lines into smaller metres, can ya?! But as you say, one can beat an egg. lol.
