SWEET CONTENTMENT BY MICHAEL LEDNER
May 06, 2023
O’ blissful life of sweet contentment
No longer driven, now: directed;
No more striving, no more resentment
Grateful, calm and fully connected
To Him with Whom my heart is aligned
My Jesus, Savior, Lord and King,
And now at peace, my soul is resigned
To learn contentment in everything
Take note - I said that I am learning
I have not quite mastered this
Yet, I do find myself returning
To this state of peaceful bliss
So much adventure in this peace
The soul sees clearly when at rest
Yes, signs and wonders never cease
To follow those who pass this test:
To turn from that which allures me
As flesh cries out, “I need more stuff!”
I turn to Him, He reassures me,
“I am with you - I am enough!”
To know this life of joyous splendor
Answer now His beck and call:
Live a life of sweet surrender
Join Him in His love for all.
And then contentment you will find
Where’er you go and in everything,
With joy and peace and a sound mind
The world: your oyster; you: a king.
