O my Father …
Why people are the way they are? …
Some so deep …
Some so shallow …
and me? …
I have to swallow …
whether deep or shallow …
and within my tallow …
within my gut …
I rot! …
Why am I …
the way I am? …
Why can I not …
turn off my thought …
open my heart …
to embark …
on Your love a journey …
on Your mercy …
on Your compassion …
for the just …
and the unjust? …
Why my ‘holy than thou’ …
my attitude …
portray …
in the byway …
of the everyday …
humdrum …
unable to shut away …
my stinking ways? …
Come to my aid …
O my Beloved Master …
reach down …
lift me up …
to the Rock …
too high for me …
to climb up! …
speedily my Master …
lift me up …
lift me up …
set me free …
from my stinking ways …
set me free! …
my shrilling cry …
with the Psalmist …
my plea …
HEAR MY cry, O my Master—my Beloved Yahuwah/Yahushua …
listen to my prayer …
From the end of the earth will I cry to You …
when my heart is overwhelmed and fainting …
lead me to the Rock that is higher than I …
yes, a Rock that is too high for me …
For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me …
a strong tower against the adversary …
I will dwell in Your tabernacle forever …
let me find refuge and trust in the shelter …
of Your wings …
Selah—pause, and calmly think of that! …
For You, O my Master—my Beloved Yahuwah/Yahushua …
have heard my vows …
You have given me the heritage …
of those who fear, revere, and honor Your name …
May You prolong the true King’s life …
adding days upon days, and may His years be …
to the last generation of this world …
and the generations of the world to come …
May He sit enthroned forever …
before the face of my Master—my Beloved Yahuwah/Yahushua …
O ordain that loving-kindness and faithfulness …
may watch over Him! …
So will I sing praise to Your name forever …
paying my vows day by day …Psalms 61:1-8
