Rejoicing in the Lord
 
For: Olga Shearer

Psalm: 34:3 (NIV)- “Glorify the LORD with me;
   let us exalt his name together.”


My soul sings to the Lord, as the sun rise your closeness comes.  
I kneel at the foot of my bed and praise you Lord with joy.  
What a delightful song my heart sings in gladness to know you.  

I turn to you for you have healed my troubled soul by your love.  
Rejoicing in my salvation from the heaviness of a broken heart.  
Now there is gladness that I have come to know of your redemption.

I once was lost in the mist of pain and sadness for I had no hope.  
You spoke to me and give me hope by the gleam in your eyes.  
Your voice was soft, and your heart had warmth for my aching soul.  


My weary bones would have been crushed if not for your gentleness.
I turned to you for comfort and found rest and I rejoiced  
A pillow to lay my head and rest a weary mind to be restored.


My soul delighted in your salvation for all my sins were forgiven.
