Wise Waiting

Tune: Duke Street

('Fight the good fight')

Psalm 62 parts

**********

Truly my soul upon God waits

I trust in Him, not luck or fates

For from Him comes my salvation

Trust in Him, you His daughter, son

 

He only is my rock and my

Salvation, His presence e'er nigh

He my defence and my strong tower

Ready to hear, help every hour

 

I shall no be shaken greatly

Firm on Him, my rock, my stand be

My soul, wait you on God only

For my hope sure from Him it be

 

To the Lord God belongs power

And mercy, for He does render

Unto each one according to

The work they in their lives so do

    ... I reckon 8's are a bit like busses or taxi's ..
    Never around when ya need one, but when ya quit waiting .. ya get four in a row ....
    ... Super Sunday to you Steven ....

      Thanks N. Doh! I forgot the clip. Adding it now...... Them four 8's in a row are know as Long Metre or LM. I could have saved four by just saying 'Long Metre'. Matters of major importance here - not!

      Orchi, this is fine praise indeed from you and for all of us regardless of our perception of what god is, religious or not.

        Thanks dusk. Can the same be said for waiting for the No.7 bus?!

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Works out the same matters not the way you turn them. Good Sunday read, Orchi.

          Thanks Jerry.

          Good one Orchi.

            Thanks Gold. Did you spot one of my well-known wedding hymns to KP there in the clip?!
