3. Psalmist Lament (Paraphrase of Psalm 13)


Statue of King David in Bethlehem


Locked Down but Not Out

Reflections on Grace when facing  Dark Times. 


Must I stay here, to fear and fret
How long will you, my Lord Forget,
How long, will darkness hide your face, 
Despair the only lasting trace.

How long will battle of the mind 
Wrestle my thoughts and there to grind
The daily sorrow of my heart,
As enemy tears life apart. 

Look on me Lord, to me reply 
Bring Light, awake my sleeping eyes,
As death seems now the only end;
Against my enemy defend.

The foes are waiting for my fall.
 In victory to sneer, to call,
Rejoicing on my sure demise,
I feel downcast, no hope to rise. 

Lord, I will trust, your love assured  
My heart delights, my soul is cured.
I’ll sing your praise, my saving Lord
And by your goodness I’m, restored!
