Psalm 120:6-7

 

Psalm 120:6-7

Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

The heart that’s filled with angry thoughts

Walks very far from You,

And that’s a choice I will not make,

The thing I will not do.

But there are many that I meet

Who make that choice each day

Without knowing that they have gone

So very far astray.

I walk with them and speak of joy,

Only to see them turn,

Answering peace with words of rage

Until they seem to burn.

I cannot touch an angry heart.

You don’t ask that of me,

But I can lift them up in prayer

That You will set them free.
