Another version of Psalm 57

November 20, 2017 by Chris Gribble

Peace comes from the conversation needed,
Found in words that spring from mercy,
The shadows are my reminders of hope,
That began with my distressed cry,
When I tried to give up on life,
Life’s source found me and smiled.

My dear enemy fiercely pursued me,
Pretend love turned quickly to anger,
Words were the sharp barbs,
I could find no place to hide,
He searched for me everywhere,
Finding new ways to trip me up,
Every option was a new trap,
That sought to bring his darkness to me.

Today I woke to peaceful confidence,
Knowing this song that I sing,
Began from Creation’s loving word,
Finding me and calling me be-loved,
Love’s source creating the melody,
Together finding a harmony,
Springing from two hearts loving cry.

God’s whisper echoes around the earth,
I stopped to listen to God’s heartbeat,
Glory made me His greatest joy,
Witness to the spacious rest where I belong.
