4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.”
These verses remind me of the song Keeper of My Heart sung by Leilani Clark. It is also on Prairie Home Companion's April 21, 2001 website at on the 1:20:06 segment at 1:42 on that segment.
“8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great. 12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.”
“15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses. 18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.”
HE IS ENOUGH
God is enough when the trials of life are many.
He is enough when all earthly help is gone.
When the day is growing darker
And the way is getting rough;
When no one walks beside you, He's enough.
God is enough, when you've lost the one you cherish.
He is enough when your heart would break in two
When your strength alone won't hold you,
Let His loving arms enfold you;
Trust the promises He told you, He's enough.
Chorus:
He's enough, the God who made you will not leave you.
He's enough, though you can't see, His way is just.
All the tears you cry today, by His grace, He'll wipe away
You can trust Him, come what may, He is enough
God is enough when your days are filled with waiting.
He is enough when the things you seek don't come.
Though you ask and seek and pray
With no change from day to day;
In His time, He'll make a way, He's enough.
Bridge:
There's no problem He can't handle,
There's no heartache He can't soothe
All you need to do is trust, so He can prove
He's enough, the God who made you will not leave you.
He's enough, though you can't see, His way is just.
All the tears you cry today, by His grace, He'll wipe away
You can trust Him, come what may, He's enough
