The Righteous Man

Let the Lord our God be praised,
Of such feats being quite amazed;
For everything that He has done,
And always being second to none.

A righteous man honors the Lord,
With a great delight in His Word;
His seed will be strong on earth,
In blessings blossom from birth.

A store of wealth within his house,
Fruitful with a righteous spouse;
To be a shining light in the dark,
Full of grace and pity to embark.

A righteous man is kind and shares,
To those in need top show he cares;
As his goodness will live on forever,
In remembrance of each endeavor.

He will have no fear of evil doers,
Whose home is deep in the sewers;
Sinners will have nothing but grief,
As the righteous keeps a strong belief.
