Love the Lord your God

Love the Lord your God
with all your time,
with all your energy,
with all your money,
with all your talents,
Love the Lord your God
with all your hands,
with all your feet,
with all your eyes,
with all your ears,
with all that you let yourself hear,
with all that you let yourself see,
with all your mouth,
with all you say,
with all your senses
Love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,
with all your strength,
with all of what you are
Love the Lord your God
with all your voice,
with all your song,
with all your food,
love Him, love Him.
Love the Lord your God
with all your clothes,
with all you prayers
and in your devotional time really devote yourself to Him.
Love the Lord your God with all your studies,
with all your friends,
with all the relationships you have around you,
with all your conversations,
Love the Lord your God,
Love the Lord your God
with all that He has given you,
with all your fire within,
Love the Lord your God.

Psalm 19

The heavens declare the glory of God...
the [earth's] firmaments show His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech...
Night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no language where their voice is not heard.
Their [proclamation]has gone out through all the earth...
Their words go to the end of the world.
In these praises, He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
which is like a groom coming out of his chamber,
rejoicing like a strong man ready to run a race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven,...
its circuit to the other end...
there is nothing hidden from his [warmth].
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making the simple [into]wise;
the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandments of the Lord [are] pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
They are to be desired more than gold, yes, much more than fine gold;
it is sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
More over by them Your servant is warned,...
in keeping your law there is great reward.
Who can understand his own errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
Keep your servant from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart
be acceptable in Your sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
