In His Footsteps

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS
by HELEN STEINER RICE



WHEN SOMEONE DOES A KINDNESS
IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO ME
THAT'S THE WAY GOD UP IN HEAVEN
WOULD LIKE US ALL TO BE...
FOR WHEN WE BRING SOME PLEASURE
TO ANOTHER HUMAN HEART,
WE HAVE FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS
AND WE'VE HAD A LITTLE PART
IN SERVING HIM WHO LOVES US-
FOR I AM VERY SURE IT'S TRUE
THAT IN SERVING THOSE AROUND US
WE SERVE AND PLEASE HIM, TOO.












I WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN YOU;
I WILL SING PRAISE TO YOUR NAME,
O MOST HIGH.




PSALM 9:2
NKJV



LET THE RIGHTEOUS REJOICE IN THE LORD
AND TAKE REFUGE IN HIM.
LET ALL THE UPRIGHT IN YOUR HEART GLORY.




PSALM 64:10
NRSV



O GOD, COMMANDER OF ARMIES,
RESTORE US AND SMILE ON US
SO THAT WE MAY BE SAVED.




PSALM 80:7
GOD'S WORD



RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF THY SALVATION,
AND SUSTAIN ME WITH A WILLING SPIRIT.




PSALM 51:12
NAS



I HAVE SUFFERED MUCH, O LORD;
RESTORE MY LIFE AGAIN, JUST AS YOU PROMISED.

LORD, ACCEPT MY GRATEFUL THANKS AND
TEACH ME YOUR LAWS.




PSALM 119:107-108
NLT



THE LORD SAVES GOOD PEOPLE;
HE IS THEIR STRENGTH IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.

THE LORD HELPS THEM AND SAVES THEM;
HE SAVES THEM FROM THE WICKED,
BECAUSE THEY TRUST IN HIM FOR PROTECTION.




PSALM 37:39-40
NCV


LET ALL THOSE THAT SEEK THEE REJOICE
AND BE GLAD IN THEE; LET SUCH AS
LOVE THY SALVATION SAY CONTINUALLY,
THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED.
