PSALM 23 (For the workplace)

 
 
 
PSALM 23
(FOR THE WORKPLACE)
 
THE LORD IS MY REAL BOSS, AND I SHALL NOT WANT
HE GIVES ME PEACE WHEN CHAOS IS ALL AROUND ME;
HE GENTLY REMINDS ME TO PRAY AND DO ALL THINGS
WITHOUT MURMURING AND COMPLAINING.
 
HE REMINDS ME THAT HE IS MY SOURCE AND NOT MY JOB
HE RESTORES MY SANITY EVERYDAY AND GUIDES MY DIRECTIONS,
THAT I MIGHT HONOR HIM IN ALL THAT I DO
WITH HIM, I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY REJECTION.
 
EVEN THOUGH I FACE ABSURD AMOUNTS OF E-MAILS, SYSTEM CRASHES, UNREALISTIC DEADLINES, BUDGET CUTBACKS, GOSSIPING CO-WORKERS, DISCRIMINATING SUPERVISORS AND AN AGING BODY THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS
 CO-OPERATE EVERY MORNING...
I WILL NOT STOP--- FOR HE IS WITH ME!
HIS PRESENCE, HIS PEACE AND HIS POWER WILL SEE ME THROUGH!
 
HE RAISES ME UP, EVEN WHEN THEY FAIL TO PROMOTE ME
HE CLAIMS ME AS HIS OWN
EVEN WHEN THE COMPANY THREATENS TO LET ME GO.
HIS FAITHFULNESS AND LOVE IS BETTER THAN ANY BONUS CHECK.
 
HIS RETIREMENT PLAN BEATS MY 401K
AND WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE
I'LL BE WORKING FOR HIM A WHOLE LOT LONGER
AND FOR THAT...
 
I WILL BLESS HIS NAME!
