Joanna Daniel Poet Rispetto

Psalm of the Overwhelmed

When my heart is overwhelmed, I cry to Thee, 
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than me, 
Thou hast been a shelter from my enemy, 
In Thy tabernacle, forever I'll be. 
When my spirit within me was overwhelmed, 
Then Thou knew my path; my life ship Thou hast helmed, 
Thou art my refuge, bring my soul out of jail, 
Thou shalt deal bountifully, Thy name I'll hail. 


(Inspired by Psalms 61 & 142)
