Psalm 23:5, 6 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."

V. 1 My song shall be of Jesus,

His mercy crowns my days,

He fills my cup with blessings,

And tunes my heart to praise;

My song shall of Jesus,

The precious Lamb of God,

Who gave Himself my ransom, 

And bought me with His blood.

Luke 10:39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.

V. 2 My song shall be of Jesus,

When sitting at His feet,

I call to mind His goodness

And know my joy's complete;

My song shall be of Jesus,

Whatever ills befall,

I'll sing the grace that saves me,

And triumphs over all.

V. 3 My song shall be of Jesus,

While pressing on my way

To where my home shines glorious

In pure and perfect day.

And when my soul shall enter

The many mansions fair,

A song of praise to Jesus

I'll sing forever there.
