I Am Rich In The Mercies Of Jesus
I am rich in the mercies of Jesus
My wealth is measured by love
I have a fortune in grace and mercy
And my treasure is in the one from above
Righteousness adorns my temple
And forgiveness hangs on the walls
The floors are covered by holiness
And Gods justice fills the halls
All of these treasures are priceless
And in these shall I place my trust
I'll stand on the one who gave them to me
And all else is but ashes and dust

Psalm 112
I am rich in the mercies of Jesus
My wealth is measured by love
I have a fortune in grace and mercy
And my treasure is in the one from above
Righteousness adorns my temple
And forgiveness hangs on the walls
The floors are covered by holiness
And Gods justice fills the halls
All of these treasures are priceless
And in these shall I place my trust
I'll stand on the one who gave them to me
And all else is but ashes and dust

Psalm 94
They devise evil against your people
They are wicked in all of their ways
They do not consider your coming
The are foolish for all of their days
They sit on the throne of iniquity
And pass laws to benefit their own
They know nothing of God or HIs glory
They know not of the righteous throne
The Lord will uphold the weak
And those that are caught in a flood
He will cut off the wicked and greedy
And restore righteous for innocent blood

Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise oh lands
Do not dwell in sadness
Come before His presence
And serve the Lord with gladness
For we are His children
Who were made by holy hands
We are God's own sheep
So praise Him all ye lands
Enter into His gates
With thanksgiving in your heart
Enter into His courts
May his presence ne'r depart
His mercy is everlasting
And His love it knows no bounds
Let the angels cry out His glory
And saints make heavenly sounds

Psalm 28
To you I will cry oh Lord my Rock
Please do not be silent to me
Lest I become as one who has died
For I would raise my hands in your sanctuary
Oh Lord you give according to their deeds
To those with evil in their heart
You seperate the wheat from the tares
And from you they eternally depart
But you are a strength and a shield to me
And you hear the voice of my supplications
You will rule and reign forvermore
Forever God of all the nations

Psalm 30
Weeping may endure through the night
But joy comes in the morning
You brought my soul up from the grave
And now I dance instead of mourning
Oh Lord will the dust praise you?
Can it declare your truth and sing?
Can it rise up amongst the people?
And decalare you most holy King
Give life to your saints
And breathe on them
Raise them up that they may testify
Of your glory and grace
And your glorious face
Let you majesty fill the night sky

Psalm 29
The voice of the Lord
Makes the deer give birth
His voice fells mighty trees
The voice of the Lord is powerful
His voice reaches over the seas
The voice of the Lord
Shakes the wilderness
His voice divides flames of fire
His voice is heard as the thunder roars
His voice lifts me higher and higher
So we worship the Lord in Holiness
And in His temple all cry Glory
And the mountains bow down and men cry out
And the angles cry, holy, holy, holy

Psalm 141
O Lord my heart it cries to you
Please hear me when I call
I lift my hands and worship you
Without you I would fall
Coals of fire upon my lips
Two hearts that stand as one
I'll walk with you and you alone
Without you I'm undone
The wicked cause me great distress
I long to see the day
When Christ shall reign forevermore
All tears are wiped away
Until that day, I lift my eyes
To Christ the risen King
Exalted one, Emmanuel
Of Him the angels sing

Psalm 26
Lord I have loved the habitation of your house
And the place where your glory rests
Try my mind oh Lord and examine my heart
For you are the God that tests
Do not gather my soul with sinners
Nor with Pharisees and scribes
Deliver me Lord from blood thirsty men
Whose right hands are full of bribes
For I will bless you in the congregation
And rejoice in your mercy and grace
I will come before your holy throne
And rejoice that I stand in this place

Psalm 22
I cry in the daytime
But you do not hear
I try to walk in faith
But I stumble in fear
My heart it melts within my chest
It seems like its made of wax
And all my bones are out of joint
As the enemy continually attacks
And then I lift my eyes on high
I see the God that heareth me
All glory to the risen King
For I was blind but now I see
I see the glory of the Lord
For He is high and lifted up
He is the lifter of my head
He is the filler of my cup!
