Ready Is My Heart To Sing (When Life is an Autumn)

READY  IS  MY  HEART  TO  SING

Psalm 31:9-12; 56:8; 2 Chron.16:9; Psalm 63:1-4

When I am afraid and sad, and weary,

When anxious my heart and eyes are teary,

When bones are so week, and pain’s persistent,

When I’m alone and friends are distant—

Then ready is my heart to sing

Praise, and worship You, my King!

To You belong all glory, truth and might,

You rule my life, its days and nights.

For Your eyes, Yahuah, run to and from through all earth,

To show Yourself strong on behalf of those who love You;

Whose heart to You is loyal, and who relies on You,

For You are Merciful, and You are Wonderful,

Almighty, Beautiful, Awesome and True!

When thankfulness floods my heart like river,

That all of the good things You are Giver;

When peace spreads within and joy is bursting,

When I’m for You, YAH, ever thirsty —

Then ready is my heart to sing

Praise, and worship You, my King!

To You belong all glory, truth and might,

You rule my life, its days and nights.

Because Your lovingkindness, YAH, is better than life,

My lips shall praise You, Father,

 I will bless You while I live!

I will lift up my hands in Your Name and will sing,

For You are Merciful, and You are Wonderful,

Almighty, Beautiful, Eternal King!

Almighty, Beautiful, Eternal King!

Psalm  31   (KJV)

⁹ Have mercy upon me, O YAHUAH, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

¹¹ I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

¹² I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

PSALM  56  (KJV)

⁸ Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in Thy Book?

2 CHRONICLES  16   (KJV)

⁹ For the eyes of YAHUAH run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. 

Psalm  63   (KJV)

1 O God, Thou art my ELOHIYM; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

² To see Thy power and Thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary.

³ Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.

⁴ Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy Name, O YAHUAH.
