HOME > POETRY > PSALM 16

The mountain of the Lord shall be established.  

It will be lifted up above the hills.

My people will come.  They will stream into my presence! 

The Word of the Lord shall be fulfilled!

My people!  Oh people!   How I long to gather you!

Praises have lifted you on high...................... higher. higher!

Rejoice, for I have gifted you...................... with heavens fire

 Heavens fire will fall.................. Let it rain down on us all!

As we circle 'round the mountain of the Lord. 

Heaven's fire will fall........................   Let it rain down on us all,

As we dance around the mountain of the Lord. 

As we dance 'round the mountain of the Lord.

Come worship Jehovah  Jirah  our Lord!

For the heavens have seen an awesome vision.

And the nations will cry, "Come, let us go.  They  say, "Teach us your ways

So we may walk in your path."  Go out from Zion!  Go out from my wrath!

Though others seek lifeless gods with empty reward,

We will choose to walk in the name of the Lord!

He will hear the pleas and prayers that we are cryin'.

Delivery is coming forth from Zion!  Our Deliverer is rising out of Zion!

I DETERMINE I WILL NEVER TAKE THE GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN.

IN MY STEAD NO FLINTY ROCK WILL CRY OUT,  "HOLY IS HIS NAME!"

I REFUSE TO LET THIS TERRESTRIAL VOYAGE ..................JUST PASS ME BY.

WITHOUT TENDING TO CHRIST'S BODY, MENDING MAIMED MIGNONS WHO CRY,

  OH GOD FORBID., THAT I SHOULD SQUANDER STERLING MOMENTS HERE BELOW.

AS HIS HARVEST NEARS COMPLETION., AND HIS SON-KISSED WHEAT IS BOWING LOW.

WHILE THERE'S A WHOLE WIDE WORLD OF MANKIND JUST DYING TO KNOW;

OF A MAN WHO WOULD LAY DOWN HIS LIFE, 

AND OF A GOD WHO LOVES THEM SO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

O-O-O-O-O-O  MAY MY LIFE BE LIKE A TESTIMONY BOOK.

THAT INVITES THOSE I ENCOUNTER T0 TAKE A MODEST LOOK,

AND AS THEY LEAF THROUGH MY CHAPTERS PAGE BY PAGE VERSE BY VERSE.

LET THE SWEET AROMA OF MY PRAISE BEGIN TO LOOSE THEIR BONDS........... BREAK THE CURSE.

LET THE DEAF ONES HEAR AND THE BLIND ONES SEE. 

THE ONE WHOSE HAND IS LEADING ME.

TO SWEET FREEDOM....................... LONG SOUGHT. TO  HIS KINGDOM......................... BLOOD BOUGHT!

AND AS THE LAST PAGE THEY ARE TURNING., 

LET THEM KNOW THE GODLY YEARNING

I KNEW  FROM KNOWING  YOU!
