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.)
