A Praise to the God of my Life. A Mitcham of Ellijah.
Who denies the sun its length of day and throws stars into beyond?
You O LORD. Maker of heavens and Earth.
You O LORD. Maker of heavens and Earth.
You oh God, are real, exuberant in life, and full of endless days.
When we are cast down, you bring joy out of weariness.
And solidify our paths before us.
You bring love to bear, and bring our days full circle until we stand before you.
Who can stand before you O LORD?
Those with a pure heart, who do not lend themselves to lies.
Our ways are ever before your eyes, are rich as they gaze into the substance of your commandments,
You make the sum of who we are, whole.
You make the sum of who we are, whole.
You neglect not your statutes as we bow down before your command.
You give mercy to thousands, though we are guilty.
You give mercy to thousands, though we are guilty.
You are a tender mercy in a sea of opposition, yet you do not falter. Selah.
My heart ebbs on the ocean shore; it has been poured out like wax…
As with the breaking of a mighty rock, so have I fallen on Christ.
You are great and awesome to behold; for we are as grasshoppers in your sight,
You are great and awesome to behold; for we are as grasshoppers in your sight,
We gaze upon you with wonder.
Those who have an upright heart, and do not oppress the innocent,
Seek His face in a dry and weary land, and He will be water to your soul.
Though I may falter seven times, my hope rests in thee.
