When I was first Saved, we sang Praise and Worship songs. Not Hymns, as the older established Denominations sang, and not the songs I hear today.
Both are wonderful, the Hymns, a History of Mans Love of God, and Gods Faithfulness. Today’s Worship is a reflection of our Love of God, and God’s Faithfulness to us.
In the Charismatic Church, I was Saved in, at that time, the Worship and Praise was the Choruses from the Hymns, and Scripture verses put to music.
I ended up memorizing much Scripture, and that brought me Joy unspeakable, as I sang and attempted to live it.
This is one of my favorites.
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.” (Psalm 84:11-12)

For the longest time, I considered Lord God, to be God’s first and last name sometimes called Father God. As I have studied the Old Testament, I realize Lord God, is really two members of the Trinity.
The Lord, is the Law Giver, the Father, the Eternal One, and God, is the Creator/Ruler, the Savior, the Son.
They often speak as One, but if you study what the Lord said, and compare it with what God said, it becomes readily apparent that Law and Grace have spoken. (Job 1:8 Exodus 3:4-7 more by request)
Is:
Once was, Is now and will Be. Enoch pleased God, because he believed God Is and Is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
A Sun:
A light in the darkness, a lamp unto our feet. (Psalm 119:105). Warmth, Comfort, and Health.
A Shield:
He is our Secret Place, a thousand on one side and ten thousand on the other will fall, but not touch us. (Psalm 91:1,7)
The Lord gives Grace:
Grace is Salvation, Noah and family were saved from the flood. By the Grace he received because he walked with God. (Genesis 6:8,9).
Glory:
Reputation, Noah became the heir of Righteousness. (Hebrews 11:7). We are changed into His Glory. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
No good thing will be withheld:
My God shall supply all our needs, we can receive the Holy Spirit, to guide, direct, teach, comfort, cause us to pray, perfect prayers. (Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 3:20; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 14:14,15; John 14:26)
Lord of Hosts:
The Commander of Heavens Armies, will bless those who Trust in Him. We shall never want.
This Song brings Joy, Peace, Comfort, and Faith. We should know and sing it as a prayer.

We all have the relationship we want with God. My desire is a more intimate one.
