My Psalm 5

Heavenly host,

Father of the earth,

The whole universe,

What is my purpose?

Feed me my gifts,

That it may enter my body,

Quench my thirst with purity,

That it may wash over me.

Leave behind a clean heart,

Recapture my mind,

Repurpose my very life,

It belongs to You.

Yet I fear You will leave me,

Though in Your truth I know it isn’t so.

What is my purpose?

Without You in my life,

It is similar to an empty grave,

NO PURPOSE?!

Lord, I give my whole self,

Every part of my living body is Yours,

Help me remain with both feet firm.

I exist for You,

I exist to serve You,

Lead me on the path that You have set out,

No matter how long,

How painful.

I am anxious,

But I not scared,

For You are with me now,

You will be with me then,

Forever and always.

Hear Your servant's plea,

Forgive me of my faults.

This stupidity I carry around,

I want to leave it,

To push it off a cliff,

Help me to choose You,

Over this stupidity

And finally, over anything unworthy.

Amen.

Ceremony

My dear bride groom, As You prepare our banquet, I ask, take charge of my house, Run it with Your grace. I lovingly display, These windows for Your judgement, Let Your mercy shine through them, That they may be cleansed. I submit to Your light, Renew my heart to softness, Smooth over the sharp edges, So it absorbs hate. I am but a servant, I take You, as my only God, A declaration to hold, from this day forward. I am devoted to You, for the better or the worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and health. You have me to hold You,  To cherish You when I’m blessed, To praise You in the valley, Death cannot part us.

My Mountain

My God, seated upon the highest mountain, A monument from the foundation you laid, You are my rock, a towering fortress in the sky, Where clouds engulf the earth. I flee to you for safety, A fortified position of strength, Where only the wise will tread, Your aura can be felt for miles. Fleeting winds surround You, My enemies dare not come near, You bring a thunderous wrath, An echoing shout rumbling through valleys. Yet for me, Your summit calmly rains down blessings, Life giving water springs growth around, Soaking through for firm roots, Flowing in my veins, up to my heart. Come with me Lord, Let’s take this love wherever we go, Like the tabernacle set on Jerusalem, You are  the mountain in me.

Bountiful God

Lord, Spring forth well water, Fill my cup with Your grace, Let it overflow, Always everlasting. Lift my great burden, Come let my shackles break, Freedom from my sin, By your great sacrifice. Now I see the truth, In Your fruitful meadows, The golden fields, A season of new life. You water the ground, You shine in the valley, You care for nature, And clothe me in splendor.
