Let's Leave This Out

Psalm 16

A David Song

 ^1-2 Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you. 

   I say to God, "Be my Lord!" 

      Without you, nothing makes sense. 

 ³ And these God-chosen lives all around— 

      what splendid friends they make! 

 ⁴ Don't just go shopping for a god. 

      Gods are not for sale. 

   I swear I'll never treat god-names 

      like brand-names. 

 ^5-6 My choice is you, God, first and only. 

      And now I find I'm your choice! 

   You set me up with a house and yard. 

      And then you made me your heir! 

 ^7-8 The wise counsel God gives when I'm awake 

      is confirmed by my sleeping heart. 

   Day and night I'll stick with God; 

      I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go. 

 ^9-10 I'm happy from the inside out, 

      and from the outside in, I'm firmly formed. 

   You canceled my ticket to hell— 

      that's not my destination! 

 ¹¹ Now you've got my feet on the life path, 

      all radiant from the shining of your face. 

   Ever since you took my hand, 

      I'm on the right way.

It has been a day where i need chocolate chip cookies

It has been a day where i need a bubble bath.

It has been a day where i need my best friend. 

It has been a day where i need to remind myself of the God i serve

It has been a day where i have to realize with each hurt comes restoration.

It has been a day where i need to just forget
