His Will To Do

orchidee



Tune: Old Yeavering

('Like a mighty river flowing')

Psalm 143 v.7-12

********

Hear me speedily, O Lord, hear

My spirit fails, draw to me near

Hide not your face from me, lest I

Give up all hope and then die

 

Cause me hear your loving kindness

Morning, evening, come to me, bless

For in you do I trust, cause me

To know your way, what it be

 

For I lift up my soul to you

Deliver me Lord, me renew

Save me from enemies, I flee

To you, for you to hide me

 

Teach me to do your will, O Lord

For your name's sake, true be your word

You are my God, your spirit is

Good, you shall lead me, sure this

 

Rescue me, for you righteous are

You are near me, you are not far

Bring my soul out of its trouble

Thus I shall then praise you all

 

And in your mercy put an end

To my enemies, me defend

Cut off those that afflict my soul

I your servant with heart whole

      Thanks 2. It's a marathon for me to type '2781' every time, though I've just typed it now. I shall use '2'. If there's another numbered-poet on here, it might be 2434 or 2653, or something else random!
      I talk some rubbish. lol.
