Short Bio
Full Resume
Ben's Psalm 100
I will make a joyful noise to the Lord
in all the earth.
I will serve the Lord with gladness.
I will come before His presence with singing,
Remembering always that YHWH is God.
He has made me what I am,
And no accomplishment is my doing.
I am His, a sheep in His pastures.
I will enter into His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise.
I will give thanks to God and bless His name.
For the Lord is good:
His mercy is everlasting,
And His faithful graciousness to all generations!
