Analysis of A Psalm
Oh, my most holy One,
How wonderful You are.
You who made the sun,
And his brothers, all the stars.
Oh, my greatest of Kings,
How loving You must be.
You, who made the birds to sing,
All the mountains, and the seas.
My God, to Thee I humbly bow,
For all glory belongs to You.
To Thee my life I vow,
To You I will be true.
My God, You are most high,
As you've taken away my sin.
Now, I've become the night sky,
And You, the stars that shine within.
You've written me like a book,
With love You wrote me so kind.
And if anyone would really look,
They'd see You on every line.
I give my life to Thee, oh Lord
And everything I own,
As now, I only look forward
To when I kneel before Your throne.
Tim I. Brumley
