A Real Cry For Mercy -Psalm 57: 1

Be merciful to me O God I claim your loving kindness your promises steadfast and sure take away my folly and blindness For my soul take refuge in you alone as no one else is able to rescue me you are the great God as my redeemer in your salvation boundless and free And in the shadow of your wings there are my protection and shield for you are the anchor of my soul bow in your presence constantly yield I will make you my hiding place where no enemy is able to find there I can be confident and sure in your word, I recall to my mind Until the great trouble passes by for one great day, it surely will our sovereign God is in control He holds me and keeps me still Psalm 57:1 (Be merciful to me O God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you alone; And in the shadow of your wings l will make you my hiding-place, until this great trouble passes by.)

I find this beautiful, a prayer in poem and I echo each sentiment so wonderfully sincere in expression. This is a poem one could return to on any given day to be reminded of who they really are. 2nd Verse, 1st Line - I'm sure you meant to type 'takes'. So glad I read this tonight, and even gladder that you wrote it. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
