Psalm 61

Prayer poem .. my call out 61 I who in long hour .. low down in despair I who need repair And confidence I who mourn In struggle I who tremble Who is lost I who hurt And in pain I who cry For hope I who is rejected And failed I who pray For redemption On my knees For rescue .. Show your greatness in my sky Save me with your might my God O Lord lead me Don't pass me by Give me sanctuary O my Shepard Cast the dust away Forgive my disobedience Let me live little longer Small and weak I am now Let me not be scared Lead me Lord Touch me Lord Take me back with Joy, grace and glad My psalm of 61

Lionel, Psalm 61 is a great prayer for one in distress. As I read your poem, I saw myself in it and thanked God for His goodness to me. On the 11th of January 2020, I will celebrate 38 years of sobriety.

Sir I salute your courage and redemption .. I am in total awe by your testimony Sir I take a lot from what you say i take it for a lifetime of admiration.
