The Lord Is My Friend And Companion
(Based on the 23 Psalm)
©
by
Stephen A. Peterson
The Lord is my friend and companion; there is nothing else I truly need or want.
He walks with me throughout the Oklahoma countryside and opens my senses to
His beauty never noticed before.
He leads me to the glitter and freshness of the Oklahoma waters.
His creations are remarkable and breath taking.
He accompanies me along the busy and congested streets of Oklahoma cities.
The crowds don’t overwhelm me; for I can look into my sisters’ and brothers’
Being and joyously know them—for the Lord is within them too!
I can go to an empty, secluded place and the Lord enter the area with me and fills it.
He anoints my person with the needs and unconditional love of His children so long
As I keep Him near.
And whenever others fail me or my spirit needs escape,
I can turn to the Lord and be at peace and dwell in His presence forever.

Beautiful Psalm that stirs a praise up from the heart. And yes, Oklahoma... that state has so many precious signs of the Lord's gracious hands... a most beautiful work of art. Seems I remember hearing the phrase so often as a child... "God's country." It isn't hard to see how that phrase came about. It's as simple as walking out your front door. But then, I suppose that the whole world has beauty to offer when your in the right company... in the companionship of the Great Designer of it all.
