Psalm

Been struggling to connect with God on a deeper level recently, and today as I was having some quiet time, I was reading some Psalms, and wrote this, kind of in the manner of the Psalms.

A(nother) first step

If only I could feel your heartbeat
If only I could see your footprints in the sand.
Will life always be so unrelenting?
Is there ever more clarity to your plan?

Like David of old my heart cries out
Hallelujah! you are Lord
But at the same time I hang my head
as one who mourns

For I have seen your goodness
Your love captivated my heart
Yet now even as I worship
My history is crumbling apart.

So would you write your story anew in my life?
Open my eyes again to your glorious light
That I may praise you in the darkness with head held high
For your are I AM, you are always by my side.
