The Psalm
Psalm 37 (CSB)
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act,
6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday.
The Prayer
My One Commitment
I love you Lord
and you are my heart's desire
for all of my days
I want to be by your side
and dwell with you
and waste my days with you
because you are the Lord of my life
and the love of my heart.
How amazing
that you would look upon
my sinful heart
and thought of love at first sight
there is none like you
there is none beside you
I stake all of my hope and trust in you
you are my God and my Lord forever
you are the center and totality of my heart
you are my will and my desire.
God,
keep me close
never let me go
don't loosen your grip on me
because I couldn't stand it
and I rather die
then to be apart from you.
Because if I do,
then I will be with you.
Be my God.
Be my sweetest affections
and my deepest joy
and my fieriest passions.
I will praise you.
Amen.
