Personal Psalm (1)
friendship is a dialogue
but you have abandoned me
in monologue prison
left me there
and moved away
so I have become
wrapped in silence
standing against enemy voices
all day long
'you waste of space
you'd be better dead'
a lie of course but
my heart is sore within me
Jesus I need Your peace
that passes all understanding
hold me like a mother her child
stilling the storm
in my heart
hide me in your secret place
my Yahweh God
away from the torture
of abandonment
You are always with me
anoint my head again
with Your oil of gladness
make me sing
under the shadow of Your wings.
Make my face shine again
from Your presence
I want to be
Your living epistle
I love You Lord
do not give up on me and
speak to me speak to me
speak to me speak to me
