Psalm of the Day
You became real to me in my world.
You chose to be flesh with me.
You chose to be with me in the circumstances of my life.
You chose to be with me in the parties, in the funerals, in the sickness, in the healing in all times.
You chose to be real to me in my world.
You chose to walk this life with me.
You chose to be by my side no matter what.
In Your choosing, I find comfort.
In Your choosing, I become bold.
In Your choosing to be with me I have no fear.
In Your choosing to be with me I boldly go where You send.
I go and speak the Word You command.
I abide in Your tent and seek Your will and Your way.
You became real to me in my world.
