God Provides - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

When I am weak, then I am strong
because God provides
His people’s needs are met
When I have doubts,
when cares overwhelm
to him may I turn
My Lord provides
all that I need

My strength in times of struggle
my joy in times of plenty
always by my side
My cup runneth over
your hand upon my heart
guiding, protecting me
gathering me to yourself

Loving me despite my sin
giving yourself for me
taking on my yoke, my cross
bringing me to thee
My path, my future clear
if I but accept your gift
God provides to the end
my joy, my hope, my friend

Psalm 23 (King James Version)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
