My Lot

Psalm 16:5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.

As I sit this morn with you
Talking about my days
The words “my lot” come to mind
I feel my heart leap in praise.

I come in to sit with you
In your Word I begin to look
I always know that feeling
When you speak to me in your Book.

I read Psalm sixteen
A joyful plea of praise
David abiding with you in all
He saw you at work all his days.

Our minds can’t grasp the complexity
Of your sovereign will over all
The scope of your majesty and kingdom
Makes us realize how we are so small.

Yet you loved us so much
You came and died on that cross
You payed our debt we could not
You provided heaven for the lost.

You came down from heaven
You walked your creation for days
You returned to heaven a victor
Sovereignly showing us the way.

Psalm 16 speaks of hope
Of faith and joy and trust
Of how our lots in life are your design
The depth of faith is a must.

May we rest in Psalm 16
May we read of David’s peace
May our abiding days with you
Never let the world cause them to cease.
