Psalm Of My Heart
Folder:
Spiritual Oh God, My God, My heart doth yearn within me.
How long, Oh Lord, must I wait for Thy mercy?
How long will my nights be filled with tears upon my bed?
I cry out to Thee for there is none to hear me.
My pleas drop soundless to the earth around my door.
My sorrow encompasses me as a stone dropped into a pool.
Oh Lord, My Lord. Thou art my hope and mine deliverer.
Hear me when I cry and hasten to uphold me in Thine hand.
For Thou, Oh Lord, art my heart's true song, the lover of my soul.
No other can ease these bitter tears and set me free.
None but Thee, My God, hast the power to lead me aright.
Forgive my indiscretions and have mercy on my foolish endeavors.
When I sought to appease, I caused division.
When I thought to reap love, I brought more pain.
Help Thou thy foolish handmaid, and let me yet sing in joy.
For Thou, Oh Lord, art merciful and mighty,
And the helper of him who hath no help.
Helpest Thou me, Oh My God? Helpest Thou me!
Someone in a critique of your "Pile..." said: "The dust that was is the art that is". Dear Sister, what you have survived....& are survivig yet....is what you ARE, & a major part of what you are BECOMING, is still held in His hands. You have NEVER been alone; someone has been searching for you, even longer than a decade. God's plan for you is perfect, 'though it contains tear-drops, & torn-spots. You may've been "A Diamond In The Rough", once upon a time, but Sugah', how you SHINE NOW!! All those facets in you poem are brilliant reflectors of His Love, learned by you "the hard way". But you HAVE surely learned!! BRAVA, M'a'm, wish I could hear your smile & see your laughter (yes, I said it that way on purpose). TRP
"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
