A blessing hovers over all those whose
offences are forgiven, covered by
the God's pronouncement over those he'll choose -
- all those who open up to him in life.
For happy are those learning to be true
not just in word, but in their spirit deep,
so then true deeds of kindness come out too
as we come more awake from our sound sleep.
So while I kept my silence, my life ebbed.
My body wasted, sparkle ran away,
my groaning all day long, was all I said, your hand was heavy on me, night & day;
my strength was dried up, as does summer heat,
On stopping, thinking, when I take a break,
acknowledging my sin to you complete
I hid not my iniquity; I’d take
my cover down; confessing clean the lot,
and you forgave the guilt of all my sin. Nothing to do, but stop, think, soak, in what
that means. Let all who let faithfulness in..
then offer prayers: requests & thanksgiving
to you; for at a time of deep disgrace,
the rush of mighty waters shall not fling
up to them. You’re my safety/hiding place;
and you preserve me from my trouble; you
surround me with glad cries of deliv’rance.
I heard no word, but wisdom came into
my life, said “I’ll instruct you, teach you hence
the way that you should go; I’ll counsel you
with my eye upon you. Do not be like
a horse or a mule, without much temper who
won’t stay near unless bridled to a spike.
The torments of the wicked, many are!
Kind steadfast love surrounds who’s in the Lord.
Be glad in God, rejoice, O righteous, lark!
and laugh out loud, upright kingfisher hoard.
