Psalms

Hell

A Psalm of Cong

You gave me a arc for one

but there are many

You gave me strength

with no hands

You put the enemy in reach

but cage me behind bars

You enlarged my heart

but no wings

How am I to endure

when many are in bondage

why must I perceive this

wickedness

My Brother

A Psalm of Cong

You will never forsake me.

You gave your life for me.

You put on sin for me.

You put on shame for me.

You paid for my iniquities.

To you I owe my being.

Sons of God

A Psalm of Cong

O Son of God, rise.

O Son of God, awake.

O Son of God, breath.

O Son of God, know.

Thou art immortal.

Thou art everlasting.

Thou art Art.

Precious as stone.

Glory art thou because thou art made:

by Him, for Him, through Him,

art thou made.

The Gift

A Psalm of Cong

In your Image you created he them

They could not believe the Gift once they saw

How truly Holy Holy Holy is the Lord

Ashamed of the dirt they denied and hid the Gift

Hidden and only seen by faith

A baby is given, a Son is born

In your Son the Gift was revealed

To reveal your Holy Spirit in Us

The Power of God

A Psalm of Cong

The Sun and stars follow their course because you have laid them out

The sea roars in praise of your Name

The foundation grasp firmly at your counsel

The mountains reach in hopes of touching your feet

The birds are guided in season, they rest in your bosom

The trees bloom at your desire

I am still, waiting, and hoping for you

The Accuser

A Psalm of Cong

I am not good enough

I am not wise enough

I am not strong enough

I am better than others

I am more righteous than them

I am rich, I do not need God, says the Accuser

But He, is good enough

He is wise enough

He is strong enough

He is righteous, says the Faithful

In Jesus I put my trust

If You Were Not

A Psalm of Cong

If you were not God there is no hope

If you were not God remove my life from me

There is no other, there is no one else

I have searched far and wide, high and low

There is no other, there is no one else

If you were not God, cease my life

I do not want to exist if you were not God

I expect nothing less than Jesus Christ

My hope is in you and only you

Before the World Was

A Psalm of Cong

Your love for me was before the world was

Before I was wonderfully and fearfully made

Before the foundations of the earth laid

Before the sun and  the moon set before their courses

Before the winds and rain and the forces

Your love for me was

Surrender

A Psalm of Cong

I surrender my fears for peace.

I surrender my worries for stillness.

I surrender my tribulations for redemption.

I surrender my sins for salvation.

I surrender myself for you.

New Wine Skin

A Psalm of Cong

You were in the beginning.

All things were made by you.

Without you, not a thing that was made, was made.

In vain did I wake, in vain did I eat, 

in vain did I work, in vain did I sleep.

But you God, gave me a new song,

a new name, and a new Spirit.

I will praise your name, I will speak your words, I will walk your ways.

I am yours and you are my God.

To you Father, I commit my spirit.

Heart of Stone

A Psalm of Cong

When did my little heart start listening to the world Father?

When did it stop listening to your commands?

Was it from betrayal of a close friend?

Was it from an insult of a stranger?

Or a disappointed look of a parent?

My heart turned stony with every wound.

It shrunk with every scar.

But you God, have healed them.

You have nourished them.

Your words are as tender as a mother's kiss.

Your righteousness as bandages.

Your Spirit heals me.
