10.

Sing my heart with joyous praise

A new song to the Lord

Day by day without fail

For my peace is in You, my Lord.


You renew my strength, My Lord

When I am worn and weary

You are the well of fresh spring

From which I draw in this desert place.


Oh, my Lord, I cry to You day and night

For the thoughtless words of my enemies are like poison to my veins

And the wounds they have afflicted upon my body

Bleeds as my heart weeps for Your help.


But my Lord, You have established my House

Upon Thy solid Rock

Its foundations inlaid with gold and precious stones

Immovable and everlasting, forever and ever.


The broken crown which I have laid at Thy feet

You have restored upon my head with grace

So that I will walk fearlessly among the lost

With Peace upon my wake.


My Lord, You have given me the garment of Love

As so that I can clothe the naked

You have given me spiritual food

As so that I can feed the hungry.


You have given me rich blessings

As so that I can share them with the poor

That through the gifts You have graciously given

Your Name be glorified on the lips of all nations.


You have bestowed me great gifts of healing

Immeasurable power of prayer

As so that I will constantly speak nothing but Life

Into a captive and enslaved nation.


As so that the blind can now see

The deaf can now listen

The lame walk now with confidence

And the mute shall proclaim Thy glorious Name.


For my Lord is an awesome God

That nothing can contain

And Thy fearful and wondrous might

Extends throughout the universe.


(Especially for Ee Ling on her birthday)
