Clear Commitment

Tune: Marching

(faster tune to 'Father, hear the prayer we offer')

Psalm 37 v.1-7

*******

Fret not over evil-doers

Nor that envy in heart stirs

Over those who work sinful deeds

They shall wither as do weeds

 

Trust in the Lord and do good, so

You shall dwell in the land, know

And truly you shall be fed, see

The Lord your provider be

 

Delight yourself too in the Lord

Follow him and hear His word

And He shall give you the desires

Of your heart, and [He] you inspires

 

Commit your way unto Him sure

Trust also in Him e'ermore

And He shall bring each thing to pass

All your life does encompass

 

He shall bring forth your righteousness

As the light, and you shall bless

Bring you justice, clear as noon day

True God-speed you on your way

 

Rest in the Lord, wait patiently

For Him, fret not, wicked, see

Though such seem a while to prosper

The Lord shall deal with them sure

        The only fretting that is worst than guitar frets is fretting over evil and its doers. Nothing cryptic at all in that there poem/hymn.
