Dawn sweep away the perils
That chided me in sleep
Praying and crying out, though nasal
My Saviour, He hears me weep
Turned on side, pillowing my fears
The stillness, so loud, envelops
Reminded of a hymn to repress the tears
Gathering courage, to never give up hope
The day is bursting through
And the remnants of night, they fade
Flee away you woe, perhaps one or two
For today we choose joy, and will not trade
Tower of refuge
They say You are
But to get to You,
Is going to take some effort
Lord be my helper
As I find my way to You
Tower of restoration
I’ve heard You are
But I’m deceived,
By the people so few
Lord quench the lying voices
That stay manipulating my thoughts
Tower of Purpose
Stay right where You are
Because I’m not losing You this time
Be it bend or bump on the way
I’m coming to You Lord
Sometime between sunset and sunrise
Lord waiting on You is my pastime.
I take joy in knowing You’re planning a surprise for me
I’ll wait till it’s right, because You have my interest at heart.
Lord I’ll listen when You tell me no,
Your mysterious ways crown me victorious.
My perfection in everything is nothing compared to your outstanding doings.
Indeed the mountains bow down at your feet,
The waves roar at your call,
And the sea’s horizon, unending just like your love for me.
A sinner on bended knees, The King shows me mercy.
A Just God, unfailing in His ways, and a keeper of His word.
Lord when I stray, when I’m at the edge of my downfall,
You say, I who have been disobedient is forgiven?
Oh Wonderful God, kindness is your utensil.
The ingredient is love, and the ladle?
That’s Your protection, if I stay in the bounds of showing You reverence.
Masterful Creator, Your invention is the greatest.
Teacher of goodness, I want to imitate.
Surround me and bless me Lord.
I will worship You and You alone.
The world, a bridge to Your holy place.
Shaky, telling of how easy it is to lose balance, the balance of being in the world and not of it.
Praises to The King, who has shown me the greatest love.
I have Faith in the Lord.
My prayers, unceasing will draw me nearer to You.
Mighty God I trust You forever.
So what more do you want, before you give Him all the Glory?
You wake up each day, someone did not,
You travel all over the world as a tourist, and nature makes you amazed by what you see
God is slow to get angry, ever merciful, we sin yet He forgives the whole lot.
His Son died to set us all free,
Tell me what kind of Love is that?
As for me, I will praise Him, Lord I will praise Thee,
Thy hand is set on me, and I know I’m always in your thoughts.
Amen.
