Psalm 61:4-5

 

Psalm 61:4-5

I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

I live within Your mercy, Lord,

Walking in faith with You.

And I try to live my life as

You’ve asked that we each do.

I know I fall short every day

Of who I ought to be,

But I am grateful, despite that,

That You’ve forgiven me.

And so I vow, within each dawn

To try, once more, to walk

Closer to You than yesterday

And do more than just talk.

I know that there are many still

Who do not know Your name,

And some who do, will turn away

To walk deeper in shame.

But I have been blessed to know You

From birth until this day,

And I was taught to call on You

When I have lost my way.

So, I pray daily for wisdom

Enough to set me straight

Upon the path that leads to You,

Before it is too late.
