With All That Is Within Me

Psalm 103:1-6, Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget all his benefits.  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satifieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.  The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

From head to toe, I will bless His holy name.  With all that is within me I will bless the holy name of the Lord.  He is good and His mercies are from everlasting to everlasting.  I don't want to forget a single blessing that He has bestowed upon me.  He has forgiven my sins, every one of them.  He has healed all my diseases.  He has redeemed me from the pit of Hell.  He has saved my life from destruction.  Daily His love and mercy encircles me.  One day I shall live with Him in Paradise.

Paradise: the place where no heartache shall be and no sickness reigns.
Paradise: the place where not a single tear shall dim the eye or trickle down the cheek.

His goodness is in the present and is eternal.

In His presence I soar as an eagle.  In His presence is where my strength is renewed.  Oh that I could run like a deer and leap over a wall.  He is my light and my salvation.  WHOM SHALL I FEAR?  The Lord is the strength of my life, there should be no one that makes me afraid.

God, our God, is the only One who can make everything come out right; He puts victims back on their feet.  He encamps around about those that put their trust in Him and that love Him.  He is an anchor in a stormy sea.  The waves billow, but the sea-bed is unmoved.  There, on the foundation of the billowing waves, is where my stability lies.  There is no place too deep, no place too high, no place too dark that He is not there.  Great is His faithfulness--and thanks be to God it is unto all generations!
