A Psalm of Praise and Prayer

I will praise you, O, my God!
You lift me up in my weakness.
Your yoke sets me free.
Though I am being attacked on every side,
You shield me with my faith in You!
I come close to You to worship You.
Your love runs deeper than any love I’ve known.
My sorrows bring me riches untold;
My tears produce diamonds in heaven.
You fill me with gladness and my heart rejoices.
You have given me much,
And much more will follow.
When I stopped fearing You
And began trusting in You,
You opened up my heart,
Cleaned it out,
And now dwell in it!
Your love is like a rose without thorns;
Always red and blooming.
Time will not permit me to tell all of You.
I will always remember Your love,
Your will for my life,
The things You have let me care for,
And Your promise.
Help me overcome my trials each day,
For I know the enemy will come,
And try to steal You from me!
