Psalm 103 Poem by Frank McEleny

My life is like one blade of grass
That grows gently in the field
My heart is but a single grain
That the Lord my Savior healed

This blade of grass is here today
But tomorrow it is gone
The sands are shifted by the sea
And the night gives way to dawn

Bless the Lord oh my soul
Your mercy set me free
Bless the Lord oh my soul
And all that is within me

Bless the Lord oh my soul
For in thee I have found my rest
You took my sins far from me
As far as the east is from the west

I will bless the Lord at all times
And this I know I must
For He knows my weak and feeble state
He remembers that I'm but dust

As high as the heavens are above the earth
So great is His mercy and His grace
To all who would fear our mighty God
And bow down and fall on their face

The Lord has established His throne in heaven
Rejoice all ye heavens and earth
We shall bless you and praise your forevermore
And before Your throne we forever shall serve
