2010 Poems Jan.19

Oh Lord, It Is You

Oh Lord, it is you,
It is you, I give my life to you.
For you are my sword and my shield,
O Lord, I give my life to you.

Oh Lord, it is you,
It is you, I will follow you.
For you are my leader and my guide.
Oh Lord, I will follow you.

Oh Lord, it is you,
It is you Lord, that I will obey.
I will bow at your feet doing your command,
Oh Lord, it is you I will obey.

Oh Lord, it is you,
It is in you Lord, contented I will be.
As I strive to be more like you,
Oh Lord, it is in you, content I will be.

Oh Lord, it is you,
It is in your excellence, Lord, I strive,
To be more like you each day.
Oh Lord, it's in you today.

By Peter C. Salmond

Godliness with contentment is great gain. —1 Timothy 6:6
