His Loving Discipline Our Loving Fear

The eye of the Lord is upon all who fear Him

He sees everything, His light is never dim

A loving fear that needs to last until our final breathe

For them that fear Him, His mercy delivers their soul from death

He will supply all our needs and that includes the discipline we need for our good

Even if I try hard not to sin, I know that at any time I could

He disciplines us also in a loving way, for only He knows what is best

I might not understand at the time, but I trust He loves me and am being blessed

The Lord is my strength and my shield

Upon the prompting of His Holy Spirit, I try always to yield

But sometimes without thinking I run out into the street after my ball

My emotions overtake me and I ignore my Father’s loving call

So, I am so glad He instructs me in the way I should go

For without His loving discipline it would be dangerous for me to grow
