Psalm 26: True North
I trust you O Lord
by you I set my bearings.
You are my true North
and I will walk in confidence
in the right direction –
towards you!
Even when I close my eyes
I can feel the warmth of your love
shining on my face.
There is plenty that could distract me
and knock me off course:
gossip and stupid chatter
puffed up self-importance
getting rich no matter what
bloodthirsty need to control.
I won’t go there!
I won’t sit in evil dens
or waste my time with people going nowhere.
I am walking tall, walking free!
I love your presence, living God,
your glory shines around.
I sing for all to hear,
songs of freedom and thanks,
praise for all you have done and all you are.
I’m on solid ground, my path is clear.
Bless the Lord!
