God Uses Man

So forsake selfish wants
Earthly pleasures and pressures
Instead “Here am I”
“LORD, You are my treasure.”

So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.

“You will show me, the path of life
In Your presence, fullness of joy
Weeping, may endure for a night
But in the morning, comes joy.”

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

Let my heart be blameless
Regarding Your statutes
That I may not be ashamed
Live a life with sound roots.

You’ve dealt well, with Your servant
LORD, in accord with Your Word
Teach me good judgment
And knowledge, conferred.

So, teach me Your statutes
Your ordinances, to obey
Your decrees and Your laws
May I hearken, and not stray.

For the wicked, that forsake
Your laws, O LORD
Your statutes, have been my songs
In my dwelling place, am restored.

And I will walk in freedom
Because Your precepts, I seek
Will tell all, of Your testimonies
Before kings witness, I freely speak.

Teach me, O LORD
Your statutes, their way And I shall keep, to the end
Give me understanding, each day.
