A David Psalm 1-8 My theme song is God’s love and justice, and I’m singing it right to you,God. I’m finding my way down the road of right living, but how long before you show up? I’m doing the very best I can, and I’m doing it at home, where it counts. I refuse to […]

1-14 O my soul, blessGod! God, my God, how great you are! beautifully, gloriously robed, Dressed up in sunshine, and all heaven stretched out for your tent.

1-3 Oh, thankGod—he’s so good! His love never runs out. All of you set free byGod, tell the world! Tell how he freed you from oppression, Then rounded you up from all over the place, from the four winds, from the seven seas. 4-9 Some of you wandered for years in the desert, looking but […]

A David Prayer 1-2 I’m ready, God, so ready, ready from head to toe. Ready to sing, ready to raise a God-song: “Wake, soul! Wake, lute! Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!” 3-6 I’m thanking you,God, out in the streets, singing your praises in town and country. The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every […]

A David Prayer 1-5 My God, don’t turn a deaf ear to my hallelujah prayer. Liars are pouring out invective on me; Their lying tongues are like a pack of dogs out to get me, barking their hate, nipping my heels—and for no reason! I loved them and now they slander me—yes, me!— and treat […]
