Analysis of Psalm Thirty-Four



There’s a fear that does no harming
It will register Above.
It looks reverently t’ward Jesus
It is searching for His Love.
It would never disappoint Him
Memories of His rescues grand.
And a debt imposed so softly.
Ever guiding heart and hand.
This the love response to Mercy
Law has been discharged by Grace.
With the prospect rich of Heaven.
With an urge to seek His face.
