A Place For My Soul

I am in right standing with God, not because I'm good and perfect but because He is. Tonight I find refuge in God's love. I find comfort in His abounding love and mercy. For I am in need and YOU, God keep feeding me and clothing me and giving me rest. Help me know that I am your child. Help me live like I am your child. Not a stranger. Not a guest. But a child in your house. 

1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!

    I look to you for protection.

I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings

    until the danger passes by.

2 I cry out to God Most High,

    to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.

3 He will send help from heaven to rescue me,

    disgracing those who hound me. Interlude

My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.

4 I am surrounded by fierce lions

    who greedily devour human prey—

whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,

    and whose tongues cut like swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!

    May your glory shine over all the earth.

6 My enemies have set a trap for me.

    I am weary from distress.

They have dug a deep pit in my path,

    but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude

7 My heart is confident in you, O God;

    my heart is confident.

    No wonder I can sing your praises!

8 Wake up, my heart!

    Wake up, O lyre and harp!

    I will wake the dawn with my song.

9 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.

    I will sing your praises among the nations.

10 For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.

    Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.

    May your glory shine over all the earth.

I am learning that my home is with you. Wherever you go, I want to follow and I want you to help me want to follow and search especially when my flesh does not agree. I want to believe you love me the way you honestly and truly do- always. Help me not to conduct a show or a game with a merit system set for self,  for your grace abounds beyond my rights and wrongs, shining moments and ugly ones. You are good. And I need you. You are my strength. You are my strength. I'll rest here.

Grace
