A Carolina Psalter. Tony Scully

hast been my help;Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.10 When my father and my mother forsake me,Then God will take me up.11 Teach me thy way, O God;And lead me in a plain path,Because of mine enemies.12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries:For false witnesses are risen up against me,And such as breathe out cruelty.13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of God In the land of the living.14 Wait for God:Be strong, and let thy heart take courage;Yea, wait thou for God.

      Something

      Beyond myself

      Beyond my comprehension

      Beyond knowing

      And sensing

      And argument

      Gives me strength

      When I stop wondering about how weak I am

      And put off food and alcohol and drugs

      And my addiction to everything alive

      But me

      When I surrender to that something

      That imperceptible night

      I am suddenly filled with light

      A light known only to me

      Where are you now?

      Hear me

      Show me your face
