My Psalms
(Sometimes in the morning when the sun rises over the ocean..I like to pretend that I'm David)
Your glory shines in all the earth.
The sun is like your voice booming with light filling the earth's darkness.
You overwhelm the silence with your crashing waves of continuous mercy.
Your truth is like the sands, each grain numbered and specific.
My feet sink into the sand like your Word impresses on my heart.
Your love is like the wind never ceasing to consume me.
Cool me with your breeze of life, give me joy in you.
Challenge me and see me through when it's hard.
Reveal truths. Unmask fakeness.
Be everpresent always. Take my life. Refine me.
In the glory of the morning, the glory of your light.
As the ocean spray mists my face
I smile because it feels like your embrace
Like a wet kiss and a windy hug
From my Father in heaven above
Birds fly by with grace and ease
In awe and wonder, it's you I hope to please
Everyday is your gift to me
I make mistakes but you forgive with mercy
And just like the waves roll in one by one
And just like the rising of the sun
You've given life when I deserve death
By offering up your only son
Oh praise him the Almighty one
Thank you for this life.
To know you is to know the sand, as the grains squish through my toes.
To know you is to face each challenge and enjoy them as I grow.
To know you is to feel the sun rays shine and bronze my skin.
To know you is to know your Son and the redemption of my sin.
To know you is to see the trees filled with singing birds.
To know you is to read the Bible and realize they are your very words.
To know you is to hear your voice in the melody of a song.
To know you is to talk with you and trust you won't steer me wrong.
To know you is to believe in your will and always be safe in my faith.
To know you is to count the stars and know I haven't counted an eighth.
To know you is to feel your touch in the cool breeze of the day.
To know you is to see and feel you in every possible way.
The stars and moon, the sun and sky,
The waters edge and the birds up high,
The wondrous way it all works together,
The nature of you, is knowing I'm destined by your forever.
