In God Alone, I Trust -Psalm 56
Crying out for God's merciful grace
to overcome the attackers of mine
all of the day my enemies trample me
in the pride, they accost me like wine
In my fearful thoughts so plentiful
I turn to God alone with all my trust
He whom I praise for His true word
be afraid not I hold fast I must
Oh, my God, you know all my troubles
in your bottle keeping my every tear
for knowing God is truly for me
in His presence being always near
During past year, this psalm has been mine
drinking it in to receive God's grace
in my battle with PC's ups and downs
my Lord's been faithful so fully without trace
Now my God has touched me
bringing me a sure certain hope
to look ahead again a sure sign
God invites to take His heavenly rope
For this my God I perform my vows
giving you thanks for this I must
as I walk before you in your light
bringing my praise always to you first
(PC = Prostate cancer)
(In my battle over past year with prostate cancer, I have got great strength and comfort from this psalm.
One week before Christmas saw my consultant who was very pleased as my PSA down to 0.2 and no more treatment needed, with 85% of cancer gone giving thanks to God for his healing touch. Thanks to all who have prayed for me over these months. )
