Lord Receive My Cries Before You - Psalm 119: 169-176

Lord receive my cries before you listen to every word I utter show me understanding from your word make it clear for the times I stutter Open the way for my pleadings receive them as you're full of grace according to your law deliver me so I'll glorify you in your place I shall praise God with my lips as I'm taught by His spirit divine to sing aloud of the word of God for they are truly from the sure vine In my dilemma, I've chosen you allow your hand to be upon me your salvation I desire all day long for it leads me up Calvary's tree May my soul live to praise you so I delight in God's word for my aid may your sheep never get lost help me Lord for I've strayed (This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the twenty-second and final poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119.)
