> My Strength and My Shield
|
|
>> The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
|
|
|
|
Occasion: Thanking God for answered prayer
|
|
|
|
Lord, I asked You for this,
|
|
and now the answer sits right in front of me.
|
|
|
|
For a while, I did not know what would happen.
|
|
I carried my prayer through my days,
|
|
sometimes trusting,
|
|
sometimes afraid to hope too much.
|
|
|
|
Now relief is moving through my body.
|
|
Something in me can finally unclench.
|
|
Thank You for this help,
|
|
for this mercy I can name.
|
|
|
|
Keep me from walking past it
|
|
as if it came from nowhere.
|
|
|
|
I'm quick to move on.
|
|
I'm quick to use the gift
|
|
and forget the giver.
|
|
|
|
So I pause now to thank You.
|
|
Let gratitude have a body ---
|
|
my voice out loud,
|
|
my shoulders set straight,
|
|
my next breath received, not owned.
|
|
|
|
I asked.
|
|
You heard.
|
|
You helped.
|
|
With my song I will thank You.
|
|
|
|
Amen. |
