A Psalm
You welcome me with open arms into the secret place; without Your fullness I am empty, but in You I find joy
- Lord my God, I take refuge in You.
I dwell with You in the secret place of the Most High.
I shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. - I thank You for welcoming me with open arms.
You wait for me in the secret place. - Here I am, Lord
Open my ears to listen to You.
You desire to reveal to me the secrets of Your heart.
Help me to take it to heart and obey. - Lord, I long to sit at Your feet and hear Your word
I want to be devoted to You.
Help me to abandon myself to every word that proceeds from Your mouth.
Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Bless me with courage and equip me to respond to Your calling. - I want to fear You, the God of my salvation.
Search me and reveal to me the iniquities of my heart.
Lead me in the path I should take.
I cry out to You “Woe is me!
I am undone!” - You call me back to You.
Your arms are open wide to embrace me
I am overwhelmed by Your forgiveness.
I am overcome with joy. I turn to You
Merciful Father! - I am empty without Your fullness;
I am empty without Your wholeness;
I am helpless without Your strength;
I am clueless without Your wisdom.
Apart from You I am nothing. - I need You!
I need You so desperately!
I am pouring myself out to You here in the secret place.
I worship You with my entire being. - Lord, lead me in the way everlasting!
