Psalm 121 (Rewrite)

(A quick side note: Zoe Conference Blogger gathering click here)


Psalm 121 (rewrite)
When I look at the city skyline,
The towers of wealth to which men cling,
Their hope rests in the towers,
But I look at them from the outside;
My hope isn't in them; they are the Enemy.
But where does my hope rest?

My hope rests in the God who lives above the towers.

When I hope in money, I slip, I fall, I am disappointed,
But with God it is easy to stand.
He's got his eye on me - His gentle, loving eye;
Whether I'm awake or asleep, He's protecting me.
24/7 he's engaged and active in my life.

If the sun's too hot, all it takes is Hia hand to give me shade;
He's my light at midnight;
Here,there, and everywhere, I'm covered.

That was going to be my question too - I really like it - thanks for sharing. Also, if you don't mind, I'd like to use this in a prayer service at some point - is that OK? Let me know!

Blessings & Peace,
Hugo
