My Psalm

Through anguished thoughts as I move In whirling currents, when I am churned Along Life's weary highway as I pass When dark clouds threaten to rain down fire Oh Lord of my life Abandon me not When dear ones betray n' desert me When monsters charge feral at me When my path is strewn with thorns When life seems a horrid ordeal Oh Lord of my life Abandon me not When pain hits me like a meteor When my scars are rubbed hard to bleed When my eyes are blurred with tears When I walk into the gates of homelessness Oh Lord of my life Abandon me not My heart is now hollow and empty Punctured by cutting thorns Pay heed to my supplications Listen to the soundless howl Of my inner agony Oh my Lord on high I long to hear your voice Beyond the clamour of worldly echoes I am so full of desire to bloom Bid me rise, set my heart free Extend your hand That I will hold it like a child And walk close to your heels That my heart will sigh no more But shall dwell in joy evermore!
