"The LORD is the Portion of mine inheritance… The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel" (Psalm 16:5-7). "My son, keep My words… and My law as the apple of thine eye" (Proverbs 7:1,2). "He that hath My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully" (Jeremiah 23:28). "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true… honest… just… pure… lovely… of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8).
How
pleasantly the lines now fall
That
mark my blessings, line by line:
In
Jesus Christ, I have it all,
Since
I am His, and He is mine!
I have the
counsel of My Lord,
The words of
truth that make me free.
In keeping them,
there's great reward.
I'm called to
speak them faithfully.
His words are a
refreshing well
From which my
soul may freely drink.
These blessings,
more than one can tell,
Are mine as on
His Word I think.
O Lord, how
pleasant are the places
That You have
called me to explore!
My heart with
gratitude embraces
This heritage
forevermore!
