The Way

As the course of the hummingbird is drawn
By the fragrant allure of nectar,
So the steps of the upright are ordered of the Lord;
And they delight in His tenor.
He guides the faithful in assurance, and truth;
Directing their journey on its intended path;
For God knoweth the way of the righteous.

His gaze ceaselessly attends upon the just,
Surveying all who travel the narrow road;
The Master knows them that are His.
Having been sanctified through His Truth;
And a witness to His manifest Glory;
Their heart shall not be turned back,
Neither will their steps decline.

He giveth power to the meek,
And to them without might,
He will amplify their strength;
Even unto those who do His commandments,
Harkening unto the Voice of His Word:
"They shall run and not be weary,
And they shall walk and not faint."

For the upright are of the Tree
Established alongside the River of Living Water,
Bringing forth an abundant fruit,
And whose leaf shall wither no more;
And they that be pruned and engrafted
Into the inviolate Congregation of the Righteous,
Shall flourish forevermore in the Courts of our God.
