Poetry
The Lord is my light,
Who is there to fear?
Making my days bright,
Knowing He is near.
He is my fortress,
And my salvation;
Knowing He will bless,
As my foundation.
Evil comes close to me,
To rip me to shreds;
The Lord sets me free,
By bashing their heads.
Their army sets camp,
I am not afraid;
They lure with a vamp,
Trying to persuade.
But I do not try,
To be trapped or snared;
To the Lord I cry,
The power He shared.
For this I will seek,
Stay in one accord;
As humbled and meek,
Being with the Lord.
It is my duty,
All days of my life;
Gaze at His beauty,
Easing all my strife.
When there is trouble,
I can sense His grace;
Rescued from rubble,
In His hiding place.
Now my head is raised,
As I shout with joy;
Music that I praised,
For God does destroy.
I will seek His face,
And praise His name;
I want to embrace,
And want to proclaim.
