Poetry

---

Happy is he, who has forgiveness of sin,
Of a heart purified and cleansed within;
As when the Lord sees no evil or deceit,
A happy man shall be remaining upbeat.

In the days that have passed and wasted,
Shutting my mouth fear to be lambasted;
Crying all the day long from the stress,
When God put His hand on me to bless.

And my body became dry like the earth,
For the removal of all sin for its worth;
Let every saint pray when He is near,
As to take away all worry and the fear.

God is my refuge and my secret place,
Giving me such comfort and to embrace;
Keeping me from trouble and tribulation,
Providing me with hope for my salvation.

He gives me knowledge guiding my way,
Filling me with common sense every day;
So I will be glad to always honor and laud,
For I truly know that I have refuge in God.
