HOME > POETRY > PSALM 55

How I desire to reside in the place of the Most High,

Let your spirit overtake my soul.

May my faith rise up to join yours....... In holy radiance so pure.

So pure.............. So sweet............... it's where Imeet,

The presence and holiness of god.

so pure .......... So sweet!.......... Oh what a wonder! I am complete

in your holiness....... In your presence.

***

In blessings or sorrows................for all my tomorrows 

Let the name of the Lord be blessed. 

In laughter or mourning...............My spirit's still soaring 

For the name of the Lord is blessed. 

It covers me now in my hour of need.

 His blood cries out from the grave and it pleads,

 "Cover my people. Cover my people!"  Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord.

People, bless the name of the Lord!
