I just purchased a new computer and started looking through some of my files to determine whether or not I should put some of the documents on my hard drive. As I was reviewing past assignments I stumbled across a Psalm that I wrote for one of my favorite classes that I took in seminary. I’m posting it in the hopes that it will be a blessing in your life at it as it has been in mine.
A Psalm of Hope
I will praise the Lord with all of my heart, and all of my soul.
I will stand amazed at the wonder of His works.
I will bless the Lord for the gift of music.
The gift of song encompasses and surrounds me.
It lifts my spirits up to the very presence of the creator.
In my times of distress, it is the Lord’s song that reverberates through my being.
That song, that allows me to sing its melodies. Even in a strange land.
How wonderful are you my Creator, that You would fill me with hope.
I prayed for refuge and found the promise of new life.
My hope is built within Your river of overflowing love.
My songs spring from my spirit.
They exalt You from the inner workings of my being.
You have set me apart with hope.
I praise You for the greatness of joy.
Praise to the Lord, the giver of life!
