The Light Of Christ Jesus Yahshuah Series

I’ve committed myself and I’ll never turn back

    from living by your righteous order.

Everything’s falling apart on me, God;

    put me together again with your Word.

Adorn me with your finest sayings, God;

    teach me your holy rules.

My life is as close as my own hands,

    but I don’t forget what you have revealed.

The wicked do their best to throw me off track,

    but I don’t swerve an inch from your course.

I inherited your book on living; it’s mine forever—

    what a gift! And how happy it makes me!

I concentrate on doing exactly what you say—

    I always have and always will.

113-120 

I hate the two-faced,

    but I love your clear-cut revelation.

You’re my place of quiet retreat;

    I wait for your Word to renew me.

Get out of my life, evildoers,

    so I can keep my God’s commands.

Take my side as you promised; I’ll live then for sure.

    Don’t disappoint all my grand hopes.

Stick with me and I’ll be all right;

    I’ll give total allegiance to your definitions of life.

Expose all who drift away from your sayings;

    their casual idolatry is lethal.

You reject earth’s wicked as so much rubbish;

    therefore I lovingly embrace everything you say.

I shiver in awe before you;

    your decisions leave me speechless with reverence.

* * *

121-128 

I stood up for justice and the right;

    don’t leave me to the mercy of my oppressors.

Take the side of your servant, good God;

    don’t let the godless take advantage of me.

I can’t keep my eyes open any longer, waiting for you

    to keep your promise to set

everything right.

Let your love dictate how you deal with me;

    teach me from your textbook on life.

I’m your servant—help me understand what that means,

    the inner meaning of your instructions.

It’s time to act, God;

    they’ve made a shambles of your revelation!

Yea-Saying God, I love what you command,

    I love it better than gold and gemstones;

Yea-Saying God, I honor everything you tell me,

    I despise every deceitful detour.

* * *

129-136 

Every word you give me is a miracle word—

    how could I help but obey?

Break open your words, let the light shine out,

    let ordinary people see the meaning.

Mouth open and panting,

    I wanted your commands more than anything.

Turn my way, look kindly on me,

    as you always do to those who personally love you.

Steady my steps with your Word of promise

    so nothing malign gets the better of me.

Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women

    so I can live life your way.
