So grateful for my sister in Christ
who collaborated with me on this psalm!Psalm 30: O Lord
O Lord, glory be to Your name,
I will praise You again and again.
For You have raised me out of my pain.
And washed my soul clean from shame.
O Lord, in my river of tears–
You reached out to me so I did not drown.
Your hand has raised me up, now I won’t go down.
I shall sing my praises to You for all my years.
O Lord, just as from death You delivered Christ,
You didn’t let His foes have the last word.
And His desperate cry for help You heard.
You brought Him up from Sheol and restored Him to life.
O Lord, even when my weeping nights last long
I’ll be still and remember Your favor
I have eternally through Christ my Savior.
I will ponder Your sweet holiness as I wait for the joy of dawn.
O Lord, I prosper because of You,
And now I will never be moved.
This mountain I stand on has proved–
That all that You are is true.
O Lord, even when darkness hides Your face
Shaking the world around and within me,
Father, humbly I will trust Thee.
Your Spirit is my Helper and my sustaining grace.
O Lord, in my supplication and prayers
You have turned my mournful nights into dancing.
As I see the morning dawn slowly advancing,
I exchange sackcloth for gladness, I see Your tender care.
O Lord, to the end I will glorify You.
I will not be silent in the midst of Your power.
But praise the One Who pulled me through my darkest hours
To Christ alone forever all my thanks are due.
So blessed to have done this with you! It's so beautiful ❤️
The praise in the midst of the pain. The knowing God is good and you can stand in that truth. Yes! I love it!!
