Poetry, the music of my soul

 

Poetry, the music of my soul

 

Poetry, the music of my soul

With the gift I bless me Giver,

His wondrous character I extol

My God and my Deliverer!

He gives me divine strength day by day

Whether my task is great or small.

He is my Refuge, my Hope, my Stay

He hears my humble, feeble call.

 

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good!

Praise is comely for the upright;

Let all the righteous trust in His blood

And live life pleasing in His sight.

The longing soul He doth satisfy;

The hungry is with goodness filled,

Trials are His gift to draw me nigh

In His love alone I’m fulfilled.

 

Oh Father, help me seek naught but Thee

In my joy, pain, or solitude,

The riches of Your grace I see

I bow in praise and gratitude!

Abba Father, to Thy throne I flee

In Thy sweet presence I rejoice!

Be still, O my soul, wait patiently,

Let the bride hear the bridegroom’s voice!
