Your Love Oh Lord

Yesterday your cousin Melissa posted a video of herself on Facebook singing this song for us. It's by Third Day. There are very few lyrics, but it's based on Psalm 36 which I looked up as well. Neither the song nor the Psalm has a lot of meaning to me right now, but I thought I would record the words of both.

Your Love Oh Lord

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 up my voice
To worship you, my King
I will find my strength
In the shadow of your wings

(When I start to type things and they're not in the right place, where do they go? Just wondering!)

Psalm 36

Man's Wickedness and God's Perfections
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.

An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
He devises wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself in a way that is not good;
He does not abhor evil.

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavensl
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
Your judgements are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
There the workers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been cast down and are not able to rise.
