quiet time
Oh Lord bless my soul
The very essence of me comes from you
Your greatness saved me
With your love and compassion,
Your mercy reached me-
For you know how fragile I am to you
Praises be told, you are my redeemer, my healer
May the breath of time pour down continuously
That every second of my life
Be for no one but you alone
My very sun, I humbly bow down
In you, I cannot hide
The very details of me, you know
My sins have tainted me, yet
Hitherto, I kneel with fear
For you never let me go
Praise the Lord, my shepherd, your clothespin I can’t let go
Indeed, you have let me walk offshore
Only to carry me back on your arms
Blessed, you are- my navigator and friend
In so many places I went, and behold
You are with me-
Keeping your promise to not leave me
For you are undone of your plans for me
To you, I surrender
Who have stayed by me throughout every season of my life, oh Lord
Bless my soul
My salvation is in you alone.
