Analysis of Vindicated Ways
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
When my soul was embittered,
That made my heart pricked and grieved;
Causing nervously jittered,
From what I had first believed.
So foolish am I ignorant,
I was being a beast;
That made me seem arrogant,
A status that has not ceased.
God is sustained with you,
He is holding your right hand;
Helping by guiding you through,
The wilderness through the land.
He guides me with His counsel,
After glory is received;
Knowing what is essential,
As you finally believed.
To whom has God in Heaven,
Nothing here to desire;
For all that He has given,
Is all that I require.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is strength to my heart;
To guide me down the right trail,
Not to divert or depart.
Those who are far will perish,
God destroys the apostate;
For anyone you cherish,
Save those do not deviate.
It is good to be near God,
Making the Lord my refuge;
Because I honor and laud,
His vindication is huge.
