3. And these God-chosen lives all around—what splendid friends they make!
4. Don’t just go shopping for a god.Gods are not for sale.I swear I’ll never treat god-nameslike brand-names.
5-6. My choice is you, God, first and only.And now I find I’m your choice!You set me up with a house and yard.And then you made me your heir!
7-8. The wise counsel God gives when I’m awakeis confirmed by my sleeping heart.Day and night I’ll stick with God;I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.
9-10. I’m happy from the inside out,and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed.You canceled my ticket to hell—that’s not my destination!
