You are My Good Thing

Psalm 16:7-9

“The wise counsel God gives when im awake is confirmed by me sleeping heart.  Day and night I’ll stick with God, I’ve got a good thing and I’m not letting go.”

Oh God how You have held me up and preserved me!

You have kept me for Your own plans and pleasures

People said of me look she is abandoned by her God

And He has made her an orphan, a widow

But my heart knows the truth of the matter

You my king have taken me in and now hold me up

You have given me Your ring and robe

They can not see for their eyes are empty sockets

All they view is there own darkness without Your light

I walk in a wide space because of Your Hand on me

I drink and never thirst because of Your fountain inside me

I eat manna not of this earth because You are my food

When can I go and be with You for real

Not only in spirit as I worship in mind and spirit

My soul aches for eternity when we shall see Your face

When all light will be from Your glory alone casting out all shadows

That is what I daydream about, going to Your place

Living there with You and forgetting this corrupted world

You are like a wine and I can not seem to drink enough

You fill me until my mouth overflows and still I want more

I could drown in Your presence so pour Yourself into me!

My heart shouts Your praise and calls to You from the mountain

Come now and let me rest  and lay my head in Your lap

Where else will I find comfort and peace

Where else will I find refreshment and energy

Where else will I find joy and contentment

Ah yes it is within the bosom of Your embrace

And yet as I desire You and constantly run after You

I find it is You who seeks me out as well

You have longed to know me and hold me

Since the day You created me with Your laughter

You have watched me grow and stand up

You have patiently waited the day I would find You

With eagerness You purposed to me

You have succeeded and captured my heart

Your goodness has enslaved me forever

It is Your love Oh God that has covered me head to toe

You are my choice Oh God and I am Yours.
