MY PSALM OF PRAISE

IN HUMBLE ADORATION

I ascribe, to the God of spirit and flesh and everything that exists in between both realms

I ascribe all praises and honor

For He is the one who loved me exceedingly even while I yet wallowed in the mire of filthy slime

Who rescued my soul from the tyranny of sin and satan

He sanctified me with spiritual hyssop - His own blood, His very life

Who removed the veil giving me a warped vision that I was living in freedom even when I was entangled in the shackles of the hater

He broke the chains and made me free indeed; He anointed my eyes with eye salve so that the scales were removed and I could behold His glory

Oh, I did not deserve it an inch

Oh, I loathe myself for the times I hurt Him and ignored Him when He stretched out His hands to me

I remember when He tried holding me and I cruelly shoved Him off, when He called my name and I intentionally blocked my ears, when He stood out the door of my heart in the cold of winter and heat of the desert and patiently knocked while I was inside too lazy to open the door to the one who loved me so much

He did not leave; He never has and never will

Lord I give you the award of the most intense and unfailing lover in the whole universe

Now at last I see the light and I live freely in your righteousness

You have placed in me the same burning desire of intimacy with you and I cannot stop longing for more of you

My enemies all around me are discomfited

The accuser is silenced forever

Your mighty doings on my behalf make me marvel

Sometimes I wonder if I have foes cos you make them insignificant

You are my savior, my strong redeemer, my Amen, my closest friend and confidant, my glory and the raiser of my horn as the Unicorn's, my light, my song, my everything

Men may not fathom why, but I know of a certainty that you are my all in all

Hosanna to Him who lives and reigns forever

Blessed are the hearts of all them that chase after you even in this perilous, dark world.
