Prosperous Life with God

Psalm 65:1-3

Praise waiting for my Lord up in Heaven,
Unto Him a vow be done fulfilling a vision;
As He hears my prayer and all flesh come,
And all of my iniquities trying to overcome;
And my transgressions are too much to bear,
Knowing He'll forgive when I ask in prayer.
It just seems like I can not ever get ahead,
Even though others seem as better well fed;
I often wonder why non-Christians prosper,
But they're not looking as a happy camper;
In the long-run it's as the essence of life,
No God-given purpose, they got much strife;
When you're not living the way of the Lord,
Life just becomes so dull and they're bored;
As Christians, we have a promising future,
That goes well beyond our earthly stature;
Our dreams are firmly built on nothing less,
Than the solid rock of God's righteousness;
For our faith looks towards that very day,
Following God down that narrow pathway.
