A Psalm of Joyful Remembrance
By Donna Allwine
To Him who provided for the widow,
His love endures forever
And brought the buyer to her doorstep,
His love endures forever.
To Him who saw the need beforehand,
His love endures forever
And gave the seed into her hand,
His love endures forever.
To Him who knew her heart would be broken.
His love endures forever
And bestowed on her His presence
His love endures forever
As a betrothed would bear gifts as a token,
His love endures forever!
