These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Things Are Looking Up!

I'm looking up to see the Lord,
Who lives upon the mountain's rest.
My help is His by His own Word
to save me through each Earthly test.

My help comes from the glorious One,
Who made the heaven and the earth.
I'm looking to God's Only Son,
Who gives me Hope through His New Birth.

He will not let my feet to trip.
He watches o'er me without sleep.
He holds me in His Hand's firm grip.
He makes my rest to be so deep.

For He, Who watches Israel,
is never sleepy, nor will rest.
His enemies can't live to tell
their goals upon the ones, He's blest.

The Lord, He watches over you.
The Lord is shading you from the sun.
Protecting in His Grace e'er new.
Just rest in Him. The battle's won.

The sun won't harm you through the day.
The moon won't harm you through the night.
The Lord's Protection's on display
redeems your spirit from its plight.

The Lord, He keeps you from all harm
and watches o'er your life's long days.
We need just lean upon His Arm,
and look for Hope, He'll always raise.

The Lord keeps watch o'er ev'ry step.
You come and go, today and e'er.
This exercise through ev'ry rep
will lift your heart from ev'ry care.
