Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
And my soul lies down in peace
And even though I walk through the valley of death
I shall not hunger, in fact I will feast

Despite my enemies which are all around
I shall sit at my Master's feet
And goodness and mercy shall follow me
And the shadow of death will retreat

You anoint my head with Holy oil
And comfort with staff and rod
You lead me in the path of righteousness
And forever I shall dwell with my God

Psalm 4

How long oh sinful sons of men
Will you put my glory to shame
How long will you love your worthless things
How long will you dishonor my name

The Lord will set apart for Himself
Seven thousand who have nor bent the knee
We shall offer the sacrifice of righteousness
To the one who died on the tree

And a mighty harvest there has been
Of gladness as you light up our face
In your presence we dwell and shall forevermore
In a continual and perpetual embrace

Psalm 41

In my time of trouble
The Lord shall deliver
Even on my sickbed
You are with me forever

Even when I am sick and weak
My enemies say 'he'll not arise'
Yet you are merciful to me o Lord
Your glory fills the morning skies

I cannot even trust my friend
Who sat and ate my bread
And now I feel so much alone
He would also see me dead

Blessed be the Lord my God
Set me before your face forever
And though they seek to trample me
By your hand you shall surely deliver

Cloudless Skies

Can rain fall
from cloudless skies?
Can tears fall
From hardened eyes?

I cry to the Lord
in my time of need
to send the rain
to water the seed

And my God
who is never far away
sends the rain
on a cloudless day

And the water that falls
from endless blue skies
fills up my heart
and brings tears to my eyes

Psalm 7

Oh Lord my God
In whom I put my trust
If you do not deliver me
I shall be trampled in the dust

Search me oh Lord
Is there any wicked way in me?
Know me in my inward parts
This is my earnest plea

And when you look inside me Lord
Its His righteousness that you see
And in the beauty of your holiness
You came and you set me free

You are my just defender Lord
You go before me in the fight
You made your arrows into fiery shafts
And your victory is a glorious sight

Psalm 96

Let the earth be glad
And the heavens rejoice
Let the rains cry out
And the thunder make noise

Let the sky fall down
And the oceans overflow
Let all the idols fall
Until there's nowhere left to go

Come into His courts
With thanksgiving in your heart
Come into His house
From which you never shall depart

Sing unto the Lord a new song
Sing this song out loud with all your might
Worship the Lord in the beauty of His name
For your eyes have beheld a glorious sight

Psalm 5

I come to thee oh Lord, where you dwell
And cry out, that you may hear
Give me strength oh Lord, that I might tell
To be brave and not to fear

I will arise in the morning and I will look up
And I will hear what my Master will say
Oh Lord I have come, so please fill my cup
That I may follow you all of the day

Let all them rejoice who trust in you
You will deliver, from all of their foe
As they walk in the day and follow whats true
They shall arise and they shall go

Give Me Shelter

Give me shelter from the storm
I'm so cold please keep me warm
Let me cry, cry upon
Cry upon your shoulder

Wipe these tears from upon my face
In your arms a warm embrace
Take me to that Holy place
To cry upon your shoulder

Give me strength when I am down
When there's no-one else around
In your arms I shall be found
My head upon your shoulder

Oh sweet Jesus comfort me
For your love shall always be
I was bound but now I'm free
To cry upon your shoulder.

Psalm 130

Out of the depths of my soul I have cried
Will you hear me O Lord is my plea?
Will you come to me quickly in my distress?
Will you come Lord and set me free?

The weight of my sins would crush me O Lord
And without you no one could stand
Your forgiveness and mercy have set me free
And salvation it comes by your hand

The mercy of God is abundant indeed
And hope is held tight in the night
And my hungry soul in the famine you'll feed
And the dawn shall be a glorious sight

Psalm 43

O Lord it seems that your not there
I seek you every day
The unjust man he taunts me Lord
And this is what I hear him say

There is no help, you are alone
Your God He does not care
He's fallen asleep, forgotton you
He simply is not there

But Lord I know and trust in you
With light and truth you fill
If I will follow these alone
They'll lead me to your holy hill

There I will come before my King
Into that holy place
Where hope and joy doth rule supreme
And crowned by all your grace
