Psalm 23 Paraphrased
Go back to Main Page
Lord, touch me deep and use me wide,
Make me all Yours on the inside.
Transform me now, renew my mind.
When I seek You, I know I'll find,
Grace and mercy, peace and truth,
All compassion, all of You.
Make me what you want to see,
Until Your light shines through me.
Lord, I want to see who You are.
Show me Your mind, show my Your heart.
I seed Your majesty, Your face,
As I slow down from my fast pace.
In a hurry, I miss You.
I don't give You time to do,
All I know You have in mind,
If I'll just give You the time.
If I will just give You the time,
You will change my heart, change my mind.
You can do so much more through me,
If I'll let You get close to me.
Touch me, touch me deep inside.
Touch me deep and use me wide.
Use me all for Your glory.
Take my life, tell Your story.
Lord, touch me deep and use me wide,
Make me all yours on the inside.
Transform me now, renew my mind.
When I seek You, I know I'll find,
Grace and mercy, peace and truth,
All compassion, all of You.
Make me what You want to see,
Until Your light shines through me.

God's hand in my life I clearly see.
I'm humbled by His interest in me.
He's blessed my life in so many ways,
Touching my heart and guiding my days.
He's teaching me now about His love.
I'm counting on my Father above.
Confident in His amazing grace,
I'm ready to go on at His pace.
My children laugh as they run to play,
The way I did in another day.
Their little eyes sparkle, full of fun,
To them there's nothing that can't be done.
Father is an awsome word to me.
Loving father's what I want to be.
Teaching them about God as we go,
It means so much to me just to know,
God sees, God cares, God knows.
God loves, God moves, God shows
Mercies new every day.
He's showing me the way,
He sees, He cares, He knows,
He loves, He moves, He shows.

When everything seems so out of control,
It's everything to know God is in control.
He's still on the throne, already on the scene,
I think you will know what I mean.
It means so much to know,
My God on the throne
Is God on the scene!
Life can be chaos at times.
Worries will weigh on your mind.
Burdens will soon drag you down.
Troubles appear all around.
And God shows up, right on time.
Already there all the time.
I think you will know what I mean.
God on the throne! God on the scene!
Hopeless is a mighty big word.
Don't give up before God is heard.
He speaks to get your attention,
And I can't forget to mention,
You must listen to what He says.
Listen and do what He says.
He'll tell you what You need to hear.
He is in charge! He's always near!
My God's on the throne today,
And He's showing me the way,
He loves me, watching me now,
Each day He's showing me how.
He guides my life with His hand.
I know my God has a plan.
I think you will know what I mean.
God on the throne! God on the scene!

Jesus told a story to show us how to pray,
For us to never give up, and on our knees to stay,
He told about a judge who just didn't care,
About God or anybody anywhere,
He told about a widow in an awful bind,
And she kept coming to the judge time after time,
"I need some relief! Hear me! Help me!" she cried.
The judge didn't care, but her hope didn't die.
She pestered and badgered Him and wor Him down,
He fin'lly helped her, 'cause she dept coming 'round.
Our Father listens, Our Father hears,
Tell Him your doubts, and tell Him your fears,
Bring Him your burdens, and leave them there.
You can always know, He'll always care.
And He wants to hear from you today!
Pour out your heart, let Him hear you say,
What you feel, what you see in your way.
Your Father's waiting to hear you pray!
Our Heavenly Father, He wants to hear us pray,
Just like you know you want to hear your children say,
"I love you! I want you! I need you today!"
God's not the judge, we're not the widow, no way!
He is a Loving Father who loves, sees, and cares,
When it comes to compassion, nobody compares,
To our Dear Father, who longs to hear us say,
"I love You! I want You! I need You today!"
Pray to your Father, He wants to hear from you.
Pray, and let Him do just what He wants to do!
Our Father listens, Our Father hears,
Tell Him your doubts, and tell Him your fears,
Bring Him your burdens, and leave them there.
You can always know, He'll always care.
And He wants to hear from you today!
Pour out your heart, let Him hear you say,
What you feel, what you see in your way.
Your Father's waiting to hear you pray!

There's always a need for encouragement, everywhere.
You can find someone to encourage, anywhere.
You only need eyes to see
Somebody like you in need.
You only need ears to hear
A voice that trembles with fear.
You only need a voice to say,
"I'll be praying for you today."
You only need a heart that cares,
With love and gentleness that dares
To encourage.
To encourage is to lift the spirit,
To say it where somebody can hear it,
To put your arm around a shoulder,
To help somebody to be bolder.
To encourage is to stand for what's right,
To show Jesus Christ, to reflect His light,
To see and to care for another,
Like you would a sister or brother.
To encourage is to know how to live,
To love and serve and to know how to give,
To be worthy of somebody's trust,
To know integrity is a must,
To never care who will get the credit,
To open your mouth and not regret it,
To know you've given it all you've got,
To keep a promise no matter what.

My Lord sees me and knows me as His own, to tenderly care for me. He makes my life complete. He frees me from fear, friction, worry, and hunger, so I can grow. He refreshes me and sustains me with His presence and His leadership. He does for me what I can't do for myself. He puts me where I need to be to accomplish what He wants to do through me, for His glory.
Even when I walk through the place where there is the most to fear, I will fear nothing. Why not? Because I can count on you to be there with me. You love me enough to know me intimately, discipline me when I need it, and protect me even when I don't know I am in danger. You rescue me, draw me together with people I need in my life, and You guide me even in the shadows and the darkness. No matter what else is going on around me, You are aware of it, and You know what needs to be done. You bring me exactly what I need, right where I am.
You fill me up to overflow with hope and joy and peace. I am staying with You forever. I want You to be able to count on Your character coming out in me.
