Psalm 9

I’ve seen too much, know too much, 

And I can’t stop loving You. 

My darkness was chased away, 

And all the lies died in Your Presence. 

Nothing has life aside from You Jesus, 

And whatever breathes outside of your Kingdom will eventually grow cold and turn to ash, then back to the dust. 

But, Your culture and work is eternal. 

Time and space are Yours alone. 

They say prayer is stupid and we foolish, the happy few who choose to love You. 

They are wrong. 

Like I said, I’ve seen too much, 

And I live in the knowledge of Your grace, 

For orphans, widows, refugees, the mentally ill, the abused and belittled.

For white trash and children of ghettos.

For old men and the grieving women. 

You are the Hope for all people.
