He sees where I go
All my hidden paths He knows
He beats back my foes
Healer of my wounds and blows
No bitterness will I truly face
That compares to what He has taste
Intimate, He knows my place
None but He guides my fate
Whatever happiness I receive
Can only become blasphemy
Who am I to have such peace
While others wait for this feast?
Yet in mystery my God provides
And He must be my only Guide
He holds precedence; all things, aside
I must not trust my heart or the Flesh inside
Temper my joy with this understanding
Nothing's by chance; all is His planning
I who cannot reach the end of pain's pen engraving
Must yield such a book to the One
Whose hand across galaxies is spanning
Though sweet and many be the years
Yet be mindful young man of future tears
Remember Your Creator before the difficult days come
While the moon is not darkened
While there's still light and sun
In the day of of prosperity be joyful
Yet in the day of adversity consider
There is a time for fun and a time of toil
Surely God has appointed one as well as the other
Blessed is the man whom You correct
Revealing from Your law wondrous things
That You O Lord might give him rest
In the days of famine and adversity
Many a time His testimonies did I forget
Yet for my seek He remembered His covenant
In the multitude of His mercies, He relents
O my soul, let us give thanks to the Lord for His goodness
And for His wonderful works to the children of men
Father, my heart is not haughty
Consider, my eyes are not lofty
I have not concerned with matters that exceed
Or with things too profound for me
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul
I have not denied You when I've been full
But like a child with his mother who is weaned
Like a weaned child is my soul within me
I hope in You
In what You have purposed
And what You have promised
I cannot understand yet I thank You
For Your mercy and Your truth
For You give me time to remember You
Before the silver cord is loosed
To make Your Word, my treasure; Your Will, my pursuit
Before this vessel is shattered
And this golden bowl, broken
May you be found His steward
Intimate as Your Lover & His chosen
