 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove

I lift up my eyes to the hills,

Of the place where my help comes from;

The place where joy in my heart fills,

Knowing that my Savior will come.

 

My help is coming from the Lord,

The One who made Heaven and earth;

God who is worshipped and adored,

For He gave me life through my birth.

 

He will not let your foot be moved,

He who keeps you will not slumber;

Reflecting on it that behooved,

Every right to encumber.

 

For He will not slumber nor sleep,

Just like the watchman on the wall;

As the shepherd watching the sheep,

Listening to hear our call.

 

Because the Lord is your keeper,

He is the shade on your right hand;

And will never be a sleeper,

His willingness is His command.

 

The sun shall not strike you by day;

Nor will the moon strike you by night;

As long as you trust and obey,

He will protect you with His might.

 

The Lord will keep you from evil,

As He is protecting your life;

While avoiding the devil,

Who enjoys filling you with strife.

 

If you allow Him to control,

The Lord will be your helpful guide;

While He shall preserve your soul,

If in Him that you will abide.

 

In going out and coming in,

He keeps you from this time forward;

Guiding you for avoiding sin,

Rest assured coming from the Lord.
