Your love, oh Lord, reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains
Your justice flows like the ocean’s tide
I will lift my voice
To worship You, my King I will find my strength
In the shadow of your wings
I’ve had enough of living life for only me
And reaching just for the things that keep destroying me
So sick of envying the lives of so many I see
Somehow believing that they have what I need
My God’s enough for me
This world has nothing I need
In this whole life I’ve seen
My God’s enough, enough for me
I can’t explain why I suffer though I live for You
Those who deny You they have it better than I do
Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
That in the end only You mean anything
Who have I in heaven but You
Nothing I desire but You
My heart may fail but not You
You are mine forever
My God’s enough for me
This world has nothing I need
In this whole life I’ve seen
My God’s enough, enough for me
I can’t explain why I suffer though I live for You
Those who deny You they have it better than I do
Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
That in the end only You mean anything

THE PSALM CHALLENGE
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. ~ Col. 3:16

Faithfulness to glorify God in every word you write
B. The administrator of this site reserves the right not to post any contributions that fail to follow these guidelines.
C. Reading the Book of Psalms is greatly encouraged!
One way to go about it is to take the date and add 30 each time until you get to the end of the Book of Psalms (with the exception of Psalm 119). For example:
On the first day of the month... 1, 31, 61, 91, 121
On the second day of the month... 2, 32, 62, 92, 122
On the 15th day of the month... 15, 45, 75, 105, 135
Et cetera ... On the 31st day of the month, read only Psalm 119.
Your comments on your reading of the Psalms in God's Word are welcome and certainly appreciated! ~ Blessings.
