Psalm I

From late 2001...

Psalm I
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Let the meditations of my heart
Be pleasing in Your sight, Lord.
Give me work for my hands,
That I may toil for Your kingdom;
Give me work for my heart,
That I may bear Your burdens.

O wondrous Lord, whose heart is ever faithful to Your children;
You who are steadfast in righteousness;
Yes, unfaltering in lovingkindness;
Draw me closer to Your heart, Lord.
Shelter me as You teach me Your ways,
That I may know and do Your will.
Create in me a heart, Lord,
That beats with truth and integrity like Yours.

Father God, make known to me
The way of faithfulness,
So that You may find me strong.
Give me boldness to proclaim of Your holiness.
Send Your Holy Spirit to minister to me,
To refresh and strengthen me.

Praise the God of all creation,
For He alone is Lord and Master.
