Psalm 37:1-12. Commit Your Way to the LORD

Rest in Him, and wait patiently
Fret not o’er those who prosper
Those working wicked ways
Whose works are improper.

Once we’re strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
In the armor of God
Each temptation takes flight.

Blessed is the man
Who does not walk
In ungodly counsel
But ignores, such talk.

Grip my heart, with Your Truth
I am loved, beyond measure
Despite all my failures
In Christ, I’m You’re treasure.

Our life’s full of troubles
Tribulations, each day
Yet instead of our resting
We keep struggling, our way.

Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.

But washed clean, before we offer
As in the Tabernacle, with laver
Now Jesus’ blood, still sanctifies
So, our heart and offerings, find favor.

As God’s precious own
We always, are blessed
We are never alone
Amidst trials, that test.

So, seek first God’s kingdom
His righteousness, daily
Be filled by His Spirit
Spurn sin, as our enemy.

So, live not for this world
That will soon pass away
But, for our calling, eternal
To trust God, and obey.
