Tune: Saffron Waldon
(one tune to 'Just as I am')
Psalm 54
*********
Save me, O God, by your name strong
Defend me now and all life long
Judge me by your strength, it not fail
O'er enemies prevail
Hear my prayer, O God, and give ear
I do trust yet that you are near
Give ear to my words, help you will
Send, I be secure still
For strangers are risen up, they
Oppress me, seek my life, their way
Is without God, not in their thought
Nor have they here Him sought
Behold, God is my helper, He
Will come to my aid, rescue, see
he with those that uphold my soul
He will restore, make whole
To enemies, their reward He
Shall repay evil deeds, so be
Will cut them off, His truth remains
So He faithful, He deigns
I will freely sacrifice to
You, O Lord, and praise you anew
For your name is good, trustworthy
My soul does here agree
For He has delivered me here
Out of trouble and out of fear
I have seen His desire upon
My enemies, each one

We could all do with a little extra, because like Asda say's, every little helps .. Neville 🐧
Thanks N. Or is that Tesco? I was reading Asda might be nasty, and fire and re-hire some employees, and pay 'em less!
We all need to know that someone is on our side and that someone has our back. Why not the man upstairs?
Thanks SB.
