The Heart of a Psalmist

Give me the heart of a psalmist
A voice to praise your name
I am sure
Life will never be the same

Give me the courage
to sing your song of peace
Proclaiming a year of mercy
To prisoners release

To those in fear’s dread prison
A chance to be released
For the poor and the lowly
To be invited to the feast

Lord I am not proud
Use me as You will
In my weakness and my strength
My heart and soul are yours still

When the path turns lonely
and the night seems long
greet me as I journey
In your company I’ll be strong

And when the journey is over
The work is then complete
I will take my rest
At your feet
