Joy’s Rocky Road: Psalm 33

My strength I can’t rely upon
    To get me through each day,
But all the battles you have won
    They pave for me a way.

Never is life’s path so easy,
    In fact, at times it’s hard.
Though it often does not please me
    It, sinful ways retard.

Life’s rocky pathways lead me toward
    The place where I should be,
A place where I am with you, Lord,
    And you, through life, with me.

Long through these troubled days we go
    On earth formed by your word.
An earth that by its beauties show
    Your glories never heard.

These glories from you to me bring
    A heart so glad and strong,
And then from lips of mine I sing
    A new and holy song.

A song of praise, a battle cry
    From you my lips will sound,
As enemies before us fly
    When tread we life’s tough ground.
