The Psalm
The Prayer
Man of sorrows
I have spent much of my life
not turning to you
not loving you
and not trusting in you.
And my sorrows and grief fill my heart.
I am sorrowful
because of my own sins
and wickedness before you
I grieve
because I wish I have only known you
all of my life
You have been my God before
since I was in my mother's womb
since I nursed at her breasts
since I knew how to walk
And you pursued me
when sin encroached
and preyed on my flesh
You loved me
when I was being devoured
and consumed
And you rescued me
I see you
and I hear you
and I know you love me
because there is no other
who could care for me
love me so tenderly
and perfectly save me
I love you Lord
and I will worship you
my Redeemer.
