My Cry for Mercy

[Christsfreeservant]

There are times in all of our lives when we feel particularly vulnerable, weak, tired, sad, confused, and, perhaps, hurt and rejected and/or all alone. It is especially during these times when we need to call upon our Lord to save us from ourselves, and to give to us his encouragement, counsel, direction, strength and joy, miracles of his grace, and hope, and healing.

My Cry for Mercy

An Original Work / October 31, 2013
Based off Psalm 86

Hear my prayer, Lord, I am needy.
Guard my life, for I’m devoted to You.
Save me! I’m Your servant.
You are my God. I trust in You.

O, Lord, have mercy on me,
For I call to You.
Bring joy to me, for to You
I will lift up my soul.

You are giving and forgiving.
You abound in love to all who
Call upon You. Hear my prayer, Lord.
Listen to my cry for mercy.

In days of trouble I call to You,
Knowing that You will
Do marvelous things,
Because You are my God.

Teach me Your way; I’ll walk in it.
In Your truth, Lord, You will guide me.
A pure heart, Lord, You will give me,
So that I may glorify You.

Turn to me, Lord, and grant
Strength to Your servant.
O, Lord, You are my help,
For You love and You comfort me.

Teach me Your way; I’ll walk in it.
In Your truth, Lord, You will guide me.
A pure heart, Lord, You will give me,
So that I may glorify You.

"You are giving and forgiving"

That's beautiful, I love that

It's really nice that your poetry seems to be almost just from the Word of God, that's good. It puts a lot of Scriptural ideas together for the reader and it's really good for the reader. Thank you for your work and encouragement.

Thank you for this encouragement, Leah. Glory to God! The gift comes from him. Yes, most all are straight from the Scriptures or they are based on the Scriptures, as a whole. I appreciate you reading and responding and for your kind and thoughtful comments.
