Psalm

Try on your love
Like a new dress
The fit and the cut
Your friends to impress

Try on your smile
Square on your face
Showing affection
Should be no disgrace

Try out your God
Hope he will send
Kindness from strangers
On whom you depend

Try on his coat
A mantle most fine
Myriad colours
His harmony thine

Believe in me
Once seemed a good line
Now belief in Jesus
Is faith more sublime

Head in the clouds
But I can’t see the Lord
Short of perfection
I’ll try to be good

I’ll stand at his gate
I’ll wait for his sign
Then I’ll walk in his garden
When it’s my time

Drink from his cup
Hush now, don’t you cry
His quiet waters
Will never run dry

Nearing death’s vale
He’s here by my side
He leads me to paradise
A mountain so high

Don’t be afraid
Just treasure his word
Singing his praises
I know that I’ll be heard

He’s gonna take you by the hand
He’s gonna make you feel so good
Open up your eyes
And then you’ll see all that you should

Forget all your troubles
You will feel no pain
He’s all that you need
He’s your everything

When I’m feeling all at sea
And deliverance is that distant shore
I will not be worried
Someday his house will be my home
For evermore
