Psalm Speak

I praise your presence, God!
You alone sustain me
Without your presence I fall
I fall to my knees to seek it once again

I run after the sound of your voice
Without your Spirit I stagger and faint
Oh, Daddy, pick me up!
Take my hands and help me walk
I need you more than ever

I trust in you, my Rock, my God
I know you will not fail me
Your faithfulness has no limit
For to your own self you are true

Your sigh shakes the mountains
Your breath stirs deep, deep waters
Breathe softly, stir my heart
And my heart will leap and rejoice

Your joy will bubble from deep within
It will flood my soul
Your love overwhelms my heart
I could drown in its sweetness
Let me sink in its gentle waves
And remain with you forever

Walk with me and reveal your thoughts
Speak to me, my faithful Friend
My desire is for your presence
And you will never abandon me

I rest in your embrace
For I feel secure in your arms
You pick me up and carry me
Never will I fall
You guide me, you direct my feet
I walk in the way everlasting

May I always be sensitive to your voice
Its sound is as gentle and smooth
As a summer rain long awaited
In stillness I wait; in quietness

One gaze into your heart of compassion
Reduces—raises me to tears
Healing, washing, cleansing tears
Forgiveness flows until my soul glows
From the pure strength of your love

Softly I will sing to you
Gladly will I proclaim your peace
Joyfully I will bask in your presence
For there—there I find life!
