Let me be like David, Your sweet Psalmist

 

Let there be light within me, and let it be good,

As is everything first created in the heart of God.

Let the radiance of Your Son shine for all to see,

Send Your light and faithful care, and Let them lead me.

Let me live forever in the heart of my God,

Fixing my eyes on Jesus, I am awed by such love,

My heart fixed on heaven, my cup overflowing,

My joy and my delight, I am safe in Your dwelling.

Let every, adversity bring me closer to You,

Patiently waiting, until You work it out for good,

Let me give you glory, even when I am in pain,

 Lamenting in the valley, still praising Your wondrous name.

Let me live always, embraced by Your grace,

Gazing in wonder at Your glorious face,

Awestruck by Your beauty, my heart stirred to praise,

Singing of Your goodness all of my days.

Let the word of God grow richly, deep inside my heart,

Shepherd, husband and Father, is my great God.

Let me learn of loving kindness and unfailing love,

And the glorious Son of man, Your eternal word.

Let me be like David, Your sweet Psalmist,

Show me the wonders of Your great love,

Let me cherish Your word, more than my daily food.

Surrounded by Your goodness, until I'm home above.
