Poetry
O God, please hear my cry,
Attentive to my prayer;
To help understand why,
All that I want to share.
From the ends of the earth,
Will I cry unto thee;
Overwhelmed by its worth,
As my heart shouts its plea.
Lead me unto the rock,
That is higher than me;
A place where we can talk,
And be able to see.
You have been a refuge,
Such a shelter for me;
From the sudden deluge,
Facing the enemy.
Being a strong tower,
Such a mighty fortress;
Unlimited power,
Relieving my distress.
I will live in your church,
A safe sanctuary;
Hidden from any search,
By my adversary.
I rest under your wing,
Refuge in a shelter;
Peace and comfort to bring,
From heat caused to swelter.
I know You head my vows,
Heritage those who fear;
The blessing that endows,
Cause for us to revere.
Add days to the king’s life,
May his years to span long;
Guide him amid the strife,
Correcting all the wrong.
May he proceed to rule,
Be enthroned to abide;
Not to reign as a fool,
Guard against those who lied.
I will continue to sing,
Fulfill my vows each day;
To Your name I will cling,
Singing praise as I pray.
