Tune: Horbury
('Nearer my God to thee')
Psalm 143 v.9-12
********
O LORD, deliver me
My troubles see
Save me from enemies
I am midst these
To you I come, I flee
From my enemies, see
Take cover 'neath your wing
Hide here and sing
Teach me to do your will
You my God still
Your spirit is good, lead
me, meet my need
Lead me into the land
Even by your strong hand
The land of uprightness
There do me bless
Revive me, O LORD, for
Your name's sake sure
And for your righteousness'
Sake, and goodness
Bring my soul here, I pray
Out of troubles this day
May I by your mercy
Be enemy-free

Orchi,
A fine write.
During these troubled times and in the midst of protests and riots, meditation and music are my go to for peace of mind.
