Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
i know You hear me
please help me pray like it
from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
You hear me from wherever i am
and however i am
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
i desperately need a shelter
but i can't reach it myself
for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
even when i can't see it
You have kept me hidden in Your hand
Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
in Your house and in Your presence
is the only place where i am safe
is the only place where i am safe
For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
You have seen my heart's cries and promises
and yet You still call me Yours
Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
You have preserved the faithful ones
and kept their testimonies for the times to come
May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
let us remain faithful to You, O Lord
for Your faithful love has guarded us
So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I perform my vows day after day
You heard my cries; now hear my praise
and tune my soul to sing them forever
lead me to the Rock
that is higher than i
and that is You
I LOVE this, Emily. The Lord makes you so creative and the words are beautiful!

DeleteHello, Emily! I tagged you for the aesthetic tag on my blog- https://imgoingonanadventure15.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-aesthetic-tag-keeping-it-real.html And if you'd like to do it but don't want to post your picture on the internet (in the "post a selfie" question), that's fine, just skip that question.
ReplyDeleteHi Korin! Thanks so much for the tag! Kara also tagged me back in her original post, and I've been planning to do this sometime in the future. I love the idea! xx
