How long
oh Lord how long will the reproach of your hand be on me?
How long will your hand sit with heaviness on the
seat of my soul? I pray thee Lord, have mercy on me
and show me good days. The reproach of your hand has
left me dry and broken.
I pray thee Lord have
mercy on your servant. Revive this broken spirit and
show mercy to your servant.
Help me see thy
purpose. Lift the fold from my eyes, that I may see,
For my vision has become obscured by my enemy.
How I long to taste the goodness that flows from your
hand; like the sweetest of honey it is.
My spirit
longs to exalt you and worship you, like a true
servant, but until the storm in my soul is quieted I
am of no good.
Grant your servant better days,
that I may rejoice in your salvation. Like a skilled
artist you have created me.
My innermmost being
you know. Lord there is nothing hidden from your
sight, there is nothing that I may hide that your
sovereignness will not diclose. I will not rest lest
you calm this storm in my soul.
Fill my cup with
fresh oil and pour a fresh anointing on me and renew
my mind. Restore the joy of your salvation to your
servant. I will sacrifice a praise to the Lord, in
the good times and in the bad I will learn to praise
the Lord. My heart need not fear, for he is my
deliverer.
