Another version of Psalm 17

September 7, 2017 by Chris Gribble

My heart is wide open to God’s call,
He hears my pleas for help,
Condemnation wants me to lay awake,
Adding up my failures over and over,
I want to hear my God’s approval,
Letting me know everything will be ok.

My sleepless nights are a reminder,
Of what injustice can do to loyalty,
But, I desired God above all else,
When I found the deepest pit to fall in,
And the stones kept getting thrown,
You saw my brokenhearted pain,
And, wrapped me in your safe arms.

I have looked contempt in the eyes,
Seen it’s selfish grasping for self importance,
That has no consideration for anyone else,
Havoc abounds for those in his way,
Eager to inflict the final death blow,
On those who dare to speak truth.

God’s word is about to be unleashed,
It will cut off every lie told,
Contempt will die on his own sword,
His lies will become his worst enemies,
When truth has the final word,
My deepest longing is for God’s truth,
That gives me my words for this day.
