PSALM 85 THE LORD SPEAKS PEACE TO HIS PEOPLE
8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way. – Psalm 85:8-13

FAITHFULNESS & STEADFAST LOVE MEET by ILMA
Lord, you constantly guide those whom you have chosen
What an honor to hear you speak peace to your people
May we continue to walk in your Spirit and stay holy
Your steadfast love and faithfulness guide us constantly
Peace and righteousness abound when we fear and revere you
Help us to respond to such love with much fervor and devotion.
When I love you with all my heart, soul and mind
I give a rendezvous for love and peace to meet
You promised to give what is good and provide
What a devoted and loving God you always are
May we turn our backs to sin and folly and repent
May you forgive us for our lack of fervor and complacency.
