Psalm of Joy


"Always faithful, always good." - Gungor

God of Jacob,
and You are God of me too?
How can I not be in awe each day
at eras of faithfulness, Immortal One?
You have perfectly executed each work,
recorded for all time
in Scripture, journals, hymns,
family trees.

I praise You for Your abundant love
revealed to my blind eyes,
ever-brightening and increasing
in my heart and life.
Your tender kindness and heart of gold
are eclipsing my days
and dawning on my nights.
O to plumb the depths of Your grace!
O that I would walk in the freedom
of Your perfect, beautiful love!

Thank You for recent joy and laughter,
for throwing back my head and enjoying.
Thank You for catching
my heart's attention
to the moment holding Your presence.

And thank You for weaknesses, 
even in times of bounty,
that are ever a battle.
They keep me knee-bent,
knowing I can't,
but You can.
