Tied with Him

A poem on Psalm 103:

O soul, do not forget
our Lord and His benefits.
From the darkness we were redeemed
And crowned with grace and dignity.
All our hopes, satisfied.
All our stains, purified.
All our strength, renewed again.
Who we are is tied with Him.
Like a bud upon a branch,
Like a flame upon a match,
Our life, our breath,
Our drink, our fire
Now found in Christ,
Our one desire.
Do not forget, I cry again:
Who we are is tied with Him.
