Psalms

About three maybe four years ago, during a Bible study, we were given the task of writing our own psalm. Now, don't get me wrong I know I am not David, but this task seemed to come at a time when I needed it. We could write a psalm of praise, comfort, attributes, prayer the list goes on. We only took 10-15 minutes to write. I kind of like that way of writing because my brain gets out of my way, I have just enough time to write, kind of down and dirty. I can worry about grammar and syntax later, but for right now, for right here,  on my blog I am writing the dirty first draft Psalm exactly how I wrote it then. Maybe I will tweak it later. The fear of over thinking almost always out weigh the spontaneity of pen to paper with no worries. So here is my Psalm of praise.,

Psalm 1

Your grace O Lord covers me
and warms me like a blanket
even when I am wandering
Intro the cold

Your hand O Lord guides me
in paths of truth
and brings me back
when I have strayed

Your Voice O Lord is the voice I hear
in times of need
 in times of despair
and in times of great joy

Your face O Lord is the face I seek
 for it is the light that brings shadows
and shade to my day
and sheds the dark  and the fear

Amen

I have always felt that this "song", "poem" just sort of falls off like it isn't finished, but these things tend to work themselves out.
