Psalm 130: Hope
Hope (Ps 130, Col 2:13-15)
Out of the dark I call
“Covenant Faithful One—Ruler of All,
hear my cry,
for You are Sovereign—not I.”
My dark depths of despondency
press down deep the decrees upon me—
hard on my head
so that I’m filled with fear and dread.
But lo! A light of love,
blazing eternally bright above,
burning away the ashes of my deeds
beautifully terrific display—never to be made of me!
Forever forgiveness from The Faithful!
With hope I await, awake—full
of whispers of His freedom word:
faithful love, abundant redemption, fully restored!
