Persevering Petitions

Tune: St Francis Xavier

('My God, I love thee, not because')

**********

Psalm 138 v.3

In the day when I cried you heard

To my help came, you stirred

And strengthened me sure in my need

Strength in my soul indeed

 

Psalm 139 v.17-18

How precious are your thoughts to me

If I should count them, see

More than the grains of sand the yare

I live in you strong, free

 

Psalm 140 v.3

Keep me, O Lord, from the wicked

Their deeds done, their words said

Preserve me from the violent, they

Would overthrow my way

 

Psalm 141 v.4

Incline my heart to no evil

But follow you, my will

Is not to go after them who

Do go astray anew

 

Psalm 141 v.8

My eyes, O God, are unto you

I focus on you, view

In you is my trust, my pursuit

Leave me not destitute

 

Psalm 142 v.2

When my spirit in me heavy

Was, overwhelmed it be

Then you my path knew, me did show

So I still your way know
