Psalm 71
1. In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
2. Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness;
3. Be my rock of refuge,
4. Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
5. For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD,
6. From birth I have relied on you;
let me never be put to shame.
turn your ear to me and save me.
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
my confidence since my youth.
you brought me forth from my mother's womb.
I will ever praise you.
The Beauty you give with each touch of your hand
I love to see your work in me
keeps me waking to deeply understand
that within me is your kingdom within
your love so pure, so true and so kind
keeps me standing in a lovely line
to hope your return is soon and alive
so we can be together is truely divine.
it keeps me standing and so blessed
I don't understand all the rest
the trials the storms you say will come
but your here and keeping me true
I love your ways so deep within
how wonderful you are so precious inside
your love takes hold and your truely divine.
O Lord, I pray that you will grow in strength
Within this heart where you are dwelling now.
And as you gain in power day-by-day,
I pray the evil spirits all will leave.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
