Psalm 27:1 | The Lord is My Light

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1

When darkness surrounds my being,
I feel You, body and soul.
You are the same from day to day.
There's nothing that you do not know.

When darkness seems thicker than light,
I see You, still shining dim.
You reside in eternal light.
I'll cling to the end of Your hem.

When darkness hold distressing thoughts,
I hear You, whisper to me.
Trust Me now with all of your heart.
I'll provide for your every need.

my inspiration

Thou who art from everlasting to everlasting, I would turn my thoughts to Thee as the hours of darkness and of sleep begin. Oh Sun of my soul, I rejoice to know that all night I shall be under the unsleeping eye of the One who dwells in eternal light.
