A Song of Praise

In the holy and the hard
You have always been my guard. (Ps 17:8)
In the struggle, in the strife,
You have breathed in me new life. (Jn 20:22)
In the dullness or the grand
You have never dropped my hand. (Is 41:13)
When there’s loneliness and fear
You have held my every tear. (Ps 56:8)
Whether weak or seeming strong
We have danced to your love song. (Jer. 31:13)
In the sorrow, in the shame
You gave me a brand new name. (Is 62:2)
When I laugh or when I mourn
You mend all things that are torn. (Ec 3:7)
Through every start and every end
You’ve been my lifelong friend. (Jn 15:15)
Immanuel, the Lord of all,
You catch me every time I fall. (Mt 1:23)
Holy Spirit, life’s energy,
Breathe your fire into me. (Gen 1:2)
Father God, Creator King,
Thank you for the life you bring. (Is 43:15)
