Day 151/252 - Saturday 15th March

My Psalm. 

I am weary, O Lord, my soul is tired,

Yet there is nothing than can shake my love for you,

But I am weary and my hearts aches.

Then in moment I remember

Your sun warms my skin and I remember,

Your sun shines and I feel you close by,

As a city dweller longs for fresh air

And for the traffic drone to cease,

So they can hear the birdsong,

So I’ve longed for you, O Lord

I’ve been searching for truth,

I’ve looked for the right way,

I’ve climbed up to the mountains,

Journeyed over much ground,

Through high valleys and deep caverns,

Through many oceans and seas,

I’ve met princes and paupers,

Been acquainted with rich and poor,

I’ve journeyed with many, I’ve journeyed with few,

You have been with me through everything

I’ve been searching for the truth,

I’ve looked for the right way,

I’ve looked up to the heavens,

Squinted at the clouds and stared at the stars,

I’ve gazed at the depths, fathomed the earth

And the oceans dark mysteries,

You have been with my through everything

I’ve been searching for truth,

I’ve looked for the right way,

I’ve pondered the culture of now and

Listened to the knowledge of man,

I’ve contemplated my generation and

Wondered through the opinions of society,

You have been with me through everything

Then you led me O Lord in your unfailing love,

You took me from my wanderings and

Set my feet on a straight path,

I was walking with obstacles,

You cleared my path ahead,

You led me O Lord because you are faithful,

You have been with me through everything

Then you led me O Lord in your own way,

Through those dusty roads and ancient gates,

Through stones walls and green hillsides,

Through early kingdoms and bloody battles,

Through humble homes and bustling streets,

Through golden fields and worn out tents

I feel the dust on my skin,

I taste the manna on my lips,

I smell the tent canvas,

I hear the battle cries,

I run my hand along an old stone wall,

My senses are alive, my body is there

I am sitting in David’s throne room,

I am working with Ruth in the field,

I am walking a dusty road with Paul,

I am waiting with Issac for his bride

I am there, but they don’t see me,

I am there, but they don’t know me

I will never forget but they don’t know,

They’ve taught me faithfulness,

They’ve shown me truth,

They’ve taught me obedience,

They’ve shown me love,

I’ve been searching for truth,

I’ve looked for the right way,

I’ve found it in you O Lord,

Through the faces of old,

Those ancient souls have brought me life,

Now I know your truth, O Lord

I’ve found it in you

You have been with my through everything

I am weary no longer,

My God, You have made me alive
