Want’s taunts can haunt the heart and mind

With fantasies touch cannot find

It torment man's terrestrial bark

And even day is night-like, dark

Contentment; healer of want’s ache

Can calm want’s wind and storm-tossed lake

It sets at ease desires that bind

And frees the wrought and captive mind

Want’s base and howling vertigo

Raids thought to find hope for its woe

There is but one redemptive cure

The love of God, faithful and sure

God is gracious to those who heed

His precepts; He fulfills true need

And stills want’s wearying despair

With mercy’s everlasting care

O taste and see that the LORD is good;

 How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! 

 Psalm 34:8

 Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them his way.

All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

For the sake of your name, Lord,

forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

Psalm 25:8-11
