Psalm 116 is a lovely Psalm,it is known as the,'Pronoun Psalm', examples of pronouns ,I,Me, and You. The first two verses, have 6 pronouns, 3 as regards himself,and 3 as regards God. Other people see it as the,' I Psalm', it reminds us that a relationship with God is very personal ,it not just a religion,one of going through the motions,nor is it a distant relation.There is a lovely hymn which emphasise that closeness with God through Christ,I not to sure who the author was, for two are mentioned ,'Horatius Bonar, and Catesby Paget, Here are some of the verses.
' By nature and by practice far-
How very far from God!
Yet now by grace brought near to Him,
Through faith in Jesus blood.
So near, so very near to God,
I cannot nearer be;
For in the Person of His Son
I am as near as He.
So dear, so very dear to God,
More dear I cannot be;
The love wherewith He loves the Son,
Such is His love for me'.
