Hear
us,
O
Good
Shepherd |
|
Lead
us
to
where
we
should
be. |
|
Shine
Your
face
upon
us, |
|
Restore
us,
O
God, |
|
Save
us
from
our
enemy. |
|
O
Lord
God
Almighty, |
|
Are
You
still
angry? |
| Yes,
we
have
sinned
against
You, |
| But
we
ask
for
Your
forgiveness. |
|
Shine
Your
face
upon
us, |
|
Restore
us,
O
God, |
|
You
say
but
how? |
|
Save
us
from
ourselves. |
| Will
You
bless
us
to
be
a
blessing? |
|
Will
You
plant
us
like
a
tree? |
| Hear
our
prayers,
Almighty
God |
| Look
down
from
heaven
and
see |
| We
take
deep
root
and
bear
good
fruit. |
|
Yes,
yes,
that
can
be. |
|
Shine
Your
face
upon
us, |
|
As
we
call
upon
Your
Name, |
|
May
we
glorify
You,
our
God |
|
And
never
be
put
to
shame? |

The
Lord, my
Shepherd
|
I
bless
Your
Name
and
praise
You, |
|
My
Jehovah
-
Rohi,
|
|
the
Lord,
my
Shepherd. |
|
I
know
you
are
the |
|
one
who
provides. |
|
Not
anything
is
lacking,
not
anything |
|
Your
provision
of
still
waters
soothes
my
soul. |
| Thank
You
for
restoring
and
refreshing
me. |
Your
voice
is
quiet
and
Your
touch
gentle.
Thank
You
for
Your
guidance.
When
I
face
many
decisions,
You
help
me
seek
wise
counsel. |
O
Lord,
I
am
aware
of
my
own
mortality
Especially
as
I
grow
older,
But
You
are
my
Protector,
Lord. |
You
can
lead
me
through
these
dark
valleys
So
that
I
can
spend
my
eternal
life
with
You.
I
do
not
fear
death's
power
for
there
is
victory. |
Your
love
and
presence
makes
me
feel
secure,
My
cup
overflows
with
Your
goodness.
The
best
is
yet
to
come,
I
know,
When
I
dwell
in
Your
house
forever. |

Conversations
in the Night
| I
cry out to
You for
help, O God, |
| I
cry out to
You, hear my
pleas. |
| When
I am in
distress, I
seek Your
face. |
| At
night I
stretch out
untiring
hands. |
| Sometimes
my soul
refuses to
be
comforted. |
| I
remember
You, O God,
and I groan, |
| You
keep my eyes
from
closing, |
| And
I am too
troubled to
speak. |
| I
think about
former days,
years of
long ago, |
| I
remember my
songs in the
night. |
| My
heart and my
spirit
inquire: |
| Will
You reject
me forever,
Lord? |
| Will
You ever
show Your
favor again? |
| Has
Your promise
failed for
all time? |
| Have
You
forgotten to
me merciful,
Lord God? |
| Have
You in anger
withheld
Your
compassion? |
| Then
I think I
ought to
appeal. |
| For
I remember
Your deeds,
Lord. |
| Yes,
I remember
Your
miracles of
long ago. |
| I
will
meditate on
all Your
works. |
| I
will
consider all
Your mighty
deeds. |
| Your
ways are
holy, O God. |
| What
God is so
great as
You? |
| You
are the God
who performs
miracles, |
| You
display Your
power among
the peoples. |
| With
Your mighty
arm You
redeemed us. |
| The
descendants
of Jacob and
Joseph. |
| Your
path leads
through the
sea, |
| Your
way through
the mighty
waters, |
| Though
Your
footprints
are not
seen. |
| You
lead Your
people by
the hand. |
| They
are the
children You
love. |
