Psalm II

From late 2001...

Psalm II
Lord, I cry out to You --
Of what worth am I?
Why pour out Your Life, Your Spirit,
Into such a wasteful vessel?

I cling to Your promises
And Your past faithfulness,
While I myself stumble so easily.
Your devotion humbles me;
I am broken against the truth of Your fidelity.

Praise You! Your foolishness is wiser,
Your weakness stronger, than that of men.
You are larger than any burden, any sin,
Any grief, any rejection, any failure.
You are larger than I, and I weep for gratitude.

I seek to hide from my enemies,
But how can I hide from myself?
Tear me down, Lord;
I am weary of dark holes, the stench of deceit,
And the gluttony of posturing.

Your persistence is inexhaustible;
Your mercy unfathomable.
I exalt in Your work, for You are working in me.
Thank You, Lord.
