24 November 2013 - Psalm 136

Some say that repetition is good for the soul
In most cases, remembering is the goal
Twenty six times in this psalm we see the same line
That is a strong message, not just a random sign
 
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good" start the words
"His love endures forever"
"Give thanks to the God of gods" and "Lord of lords"
"His love endures forever"
To Him who governs the day and the night
"His love endures forever"
To Him who filled the Egyptians with fright
"His love endures forever"
To Him who struck down many a mighty king
"His love endures forever"
To Him who gave His people everything
"His love endures forever"
To Him who "freed us from our enemies"
"His love endures forever"
To Him who provides food with ease
"His love endures forever"
To Him on whom we can always depend
"His love endures forever"
"Give thanks to the God of heaven" it does end
"His love endures forever"
 
These four words carry a great deal of weight
And reflect perhaps our God's greatest trait
"His love" is perfect, awesome, and absolute
That it "endures forever" we cannot dispute
 
Dear God, your love is there; this is know
In my heart and soul, please let it grow
By doing this, from me blessings will flow
And others can then see your loving glow
Never let me be content with the status quo
For as long as I live on this earth below
