Musings on “Songs of Deliverance”

         
















♪♫♪  ♪♫♪  ♪♫♪

Lord, I rush into Your chamber.
   Exhausted, I fall as dead.
Your melodies
   surround me with peace;
Your songs of deliverance
   fill me with hope.
Once again
   I find my rest in your chamber.

♪♫♪  ♪♫♪  ♪♫♪
Heat exhaustion consumes me;
   hot and dry,
   I am left withered.
Like soft rain
   Your songs of deliverance,
   revive my soul.
Your music once again
  renews my life-weary heart.

 ♪♫♪  ♪♫♪  ♪♫♪
During the night watches
   my soul troubles me.
   You seem so distant.
The hardness of my heart
   shuts me in.
   I can’t breathe.
Your songs of deliverance
    rescue my failing heart.
Your Presence near -
   my soul rejoices
   during the night watches.
