Have you read the Psalmist's words,
laments that are too deep to speak,
love and pride and fear and swords,
the feeble hero, strength of the weak?
Do you understand the songs
and can you sound out every line,
seeing where each note belongs
in the ears of The Divine?
How did we deserve this blessing,
handed down through all the years
that leads us to our glad confessing
of our joys and of our fears
as we kneel in grateful praise
of the One who loves our days?
Sylvia says Right On, and she'd share some ice cream with the dude.
I am so grateful for the psalms and the transparency we find there. Every emotion laid bare so that we would see ourselves in those very pages and find ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThe psalms are our song book and our prayer book, and they tell us that anything goes when we talk to God. He wants us to pour out our hearts to him!
ReplyDeleteMichele said exactly what I wanted to say. All of it. Thanks for sharing the richness of the Psalms. We don't have to read far to hear ourselves talking.
