The Righteousness of You

Today’s post was inspired by the reading of God’s Word from the book of Psalms Chapter 32.

Instruct me and teach me the way I should go
Counsel me and watch over me, help me to know

I should pray to You, while You may still be found
Surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not surround

Those who put their trust in You, for You are our hiding place
Protecting us from trouble, You surround us with Mercy and Grace

You will cover us, shield us, provide shelter from the storm
You will fight our battles for us, through the power of Your Sword

So we rejoice in You, Lord, and we are glad and sing too
For we are upright in heart, we are the righteousness of You

Heavenly Father, Savior, O great and mighty King
Redeemer of the world, Creator and ruler of all things

We bow down before You, and humbly lower our heads
We are the righteousness of You, for which You died for and bled

Taking our place for the sins of mankind
Because You love us too much to leave your righteousness behind

Yes we rejoice in You, Lord, and we are glad and sing too
For we are upright in heart, we are the righteousness of You
