Another Version of Psalm 25

September 17, 2017 by Chris Gribble

Rejection’s pain is where my cry to God begins,
It’s deceptive words shout it’s painful message,
Seeking to gloat over it’s easy victories,
But, soon Rejection will face Truth,
Rejection will be defeated by belonging,
My heart entrusted to Grace’s care.

When I spend all night counting my faults,
God spends day and night whispering hope,
All of my failures are forgotten,
As my compassionate God forgives me,
He doesn’t know how to hold a grudge,
His heart seeks to restore my hope,
When Mercy’s voice is heard.

Rock bottom was my deepest valley,
I lost my way completely,
When I sought to find a friend,
My deepest trust disappeared like vapour,
Hate’s glare replacing love,
Contemptuous words beginning each day,
Seeking to uncover my painful wounds.

God’s face turned to my darkest distress,
Light shone on my uncovered wounds,
My ugliest sins were out in the open,
When there was nowhere to go,
I was brought back to home’s safety,
Love brought out the best in me,
Compassion grew in my heart,
My life is completely open to God’s truth,
Rescued from all my troubles,
Mercy the healing balm for all my sins.
