Analysis of The Truth of the Lord is Good



The truth of the Lord is good
Praise him on guitar
Praise him on harmonica
Thank Him, oh, for everything

The truth of the Lord is good
The Evil do get punished
The bad folks will not thrive forever
For the truth of the Lord is good.

The truth of the Lord is good
Make to him a Joyful Noise
Praise Him on your bongo drums
Praise Him on the pipes

The truth of the Lord is good
He will not let you down at all
He will pick you up when you fall
For the truth of the Lord is good.

About this poem

I haven't been writing much, but a few hours ago I was reading Psalms in the Bible, when the title of this poem came to me. So, I found my spiral notebook, and it flowed right out.
