Lord Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd; my needs are numerous
He leads me in the dry desert land
When I am thirsty
He guides me to rivers that are deep and flooding

He expects me to be courageous
Among those who are callous and inhuman
He presumes that I walk in the paths of the just humans

When I walk through roads that are dangerous and dark
I am terrified of the evil humans and their structures
Because though He had promised to be with me, I never see his face

Lord, you have very often let me down in the presence of my enemies
And you have forgotten to anoint my head with oil

My cup is empty
Yet, I will follow you
And serve your people always

Miraculous Grace

This time in your grace I sense a miracle
Enabling me to confidently walk
Between the growling angry dogs prowling
To tare me to pieces with their ugly teeth

I felt cool on my head, concluding in my heart
That that was your anointing with oil
In the presence of my enemies
Confirming that I speak from above with a call

I now pray that you give me that word to heal
As I tell and live the story of your constant grace
To those that have been stalking with satanic force
To establish the dismantling of your servant-kingdom

Walk with me with your invisible presence
As I walk through Golgotha, the darkest valley
That I may eventually stroll beyond my soul’s death
Into green pastures and drink from still waters
