Peace in the Word
Inspired by, but not as long as, Psalm 119
Alpha and Omega, Your Word is without end.
Brilliant in its inspiration, only the
Creator could have authored such
Decrees.
Eternal in its purpose,
Faithful in its presence,
God alone speaks
Heavenly words of life that
Impact and bring
Joy to all who heed them.
Kings and queens,
Lions and lambs,
Men and maidens,
Never tire of hearing,
Oh Lord, Your
Promises. Come
Quickly that your commands may
Reign in my heart,
Stopping the lies and embracing the
Truth,
Unchanged by time.
Victory is found in Your
Word.
eXcited to learn, I
Yearn for your precepts.
Zeal consumes me when I meditate on your Word.
You alone have the words of life.
eXamine me and lead me in Your ways.
Why do I resist your teaching,
Vital to my wellbeing and
Useful in every aspect of my life?
Test me that I may
Seek you with all my heart,
Rejoice in your precepts,
Quiet my own thoughts and find
Peace in my soul.
Only in Your Word can righteousness be found.
No one who rejects your commands will be saved.
Mercy and wisdom are found in Your
Law.
Kindness and
Justice
In your decrees.
Hidden in my heart are
God’s words that bring
Freedom.
Every day, I long to
Delight in your law.
Calm my spirit.
Bring me news of your mercies.
Amen.
