A paraphrase of Psalm 130
Out of my weakness and weariness
I call you, Lord.
Lord, can you hear me?
Does my cry for help reach your ears?
Lord, if you thought about my sins
there is no way
I could even talk to you,
let alone expect you to help me!
But you have forgiven all my sins,
(I John 1:9)
so that you may be honored and worshiped.
You not only forgave my sins,
but you cancelled the written code that I broke.
(Col. 2:13-14)
You took it away and nailed it to the cross
when Jesus poured out his blood
that washes away all my sin.
I wait for you Lord;
I want to fall in love with you
all over again.
I put my hope in your Word.
I meet you there, in the pages of your
love letter to me.
I put my hope in the life changing power
of your Word.
I wait expectantly and as surely
as the sun rises every morning,
I know I will see you
working in my life again,
restoring me with strength and joy--
buying back every moment
of despair and hurt,
every day of pain and tears.
Your love is not able to fail!
Your love is always there
and is new every morning.
(Lamentations 3:22-24)
Your redeeming process is complete.
It flows over me in abundance.
I put my hope in you!
