Fellow Psalmists

"Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation.  Let all things be done for edification."       1Corinthians 14:26

                                                                                                          .

Psalm D

I'll be Your tabernacle

Yeilded to Your hands

Make me Your sanctuary

I'll make no other plans

Come into this walled garden

Lord make me all Your own

By Your hands I'm tended

Until You bring me Home
                                                                                                          .

Psalm E

King of kings

Lord of lords

You are on Your white horse

And You come bringing victory
                                                                                                          .

Let Your bride

Rejoice

She will lift up her voice

For her Champion has set her free
                                                                                                          .

The enemy held her

In bondage he held her

Guilty and shackled and shamed
                                                                                                          .

Her True Love did break through

Valiant to rescue

Her who is called by His name
                                                                                                          .

Brought Home

In love

To the Father above

Washed clean by the Lamb's sacrifice
                                                                                                          .

With joy

She is clothed

In righteous white robes

She's the apple of His eye
                                                                                                          .

Psalm It

"My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the King; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer."  Psalm 45:1

I've been challenged recently (via a book from Chi Alpha / XA) to write my own personal psalms!  While  I may not be a "skillful writer" I know my Papa God is blessed by all our expressions of love and trust in Him.  So here are the two I've got so far. 

Psalm A

How great is God's love?

He wants to be with me.

O the yawnding difference between us!

That One so mighty,

The Mightiest of All,

Should intimately care about me.

God loves loving each of us down to the tiniest quiet details.

What lavish expense!

His love is not a blurred survey, or white-washing,

But an intricate weaving of the strongest finest stuff;

Pure and white.

He isn't required to.

He could have just tersely saved us poor wretches and been done with it.

But even that Salvation

In all its rich greatness wasn't the end of it.

He loves me day by day

In little and big ways;

None of which are little to me.

O the Greatness of God;

I am loved!

                                                                                                          .

Psalm B

Surer and swifter than Robin Hood's arrow

Is God's Word for me.

No matter the crosswind or devils' devising

On mark God's Word will be.

So when the Fear hisses, "The target's too far,

This time it can't help but miss."

You can be sure that this Champion is yours

And what He aims at He hits!

Have a blessed week, and here's the thought of the day:  Fear is faith in the Devil!
