Pleasures Forevermore



You make known to me the path of life;
    in your presence there is fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:11 

pleasure forevermore
oh pray that we will find
fullness of joy as You employ 
the power of the mind

pleasure forevermore
where Your abundance feeds
hunger and thirst both blessed and cursed
with fundamental needs

pleasure forevermore
oh God, help us discern
in what we love, the offshoot of 
the fruit of its return 

pleasure forevermore
Lord, be the joy we seek
so much to choose in tempting hues
to make the strong man weak


forbid we chase the wind
 lured by an empty roar
 But help us stand at Your right hand
for pleasures evermore
