I've been wanting to keep up with my "For Sunday" entries since I got back from China, but it seems like either something's come up or I haven't had internet access each Sunday so far.
So without further ado, here's what I wanted to post last Sunday.
Beggar's Psalm
When enemies surround me with their threats to kill
When your table's spread before me but I won't sit still
When I chip my cup
And spill the oil
Of your blessing
When I leave the paths of righteousness for my name's sake
When I muddy quiet waters and I do my best to break
Your rod and staff of comfort
If I take the valley way
And seek death's face
Are you the one who leads me
Are you the one who keeps me through the night
You alone are here when I'm alone
Will you make the shadow
Make the shadow bright
When your goodness, love and mercy seem to follow me
But I just stop up my ears, and I refuse to see
When I walk in pride
And set aside
Your grace
Are you the one who leads me
Are you the one who keeps me through the night
You alone are here when I'm alone
Will you make the shadow
Make the shadow bright
So when the grass is greener on the other side
And streams of living water just don't seem to satisfy
What time I run away
You bring me home
With truth and mercy as my guide
'Cause
You're the one who leads me
You're the one who keeps me through the night
You alone are here when I'm alone
You make the shadow
Make the shadow bright
