Unfailing LOVE

~My prayer after reading Psalm 55~

Oh LORD, you come to my aid.
When I want to flee, it is You who sustains me.
The God of my life is my Refuge,
My Fortress from the evil that surrounds me.
Oh that I could abide in Your courts,
In the innermost place where You dwell,
For with You is peace and safety;
Joy complete is in Your presence.
But You make Your sun shine
On the wicked and the good.
Your presence is ever with me,
Even where I am.
You are near to those who call on you,
To all who call on You in truth.
You fulfill the desires of those who fear You;
You hear their cry and
You save them!
You watch over all who love You,
But You have no mercy on the wicked
Whom You have not saved.
Surely I am wicked, O LORD,
But You saved me from the pit I was in.
You called me out of the mud and mire
That I might glorify Your Name.
If I had been righteous
In my own eyes,
I could not have praised Your Name.
But You delivered me
When I was helpless;
Let me never forget Your goodness!

Let me never rise up above my knees
And disdain the Name of my Savior,
For You delivered me when I was sinking.
My sins were above my head;
I could not breathe.
But You gave life to the helpless
And Hope to the one who had none!
You delivered me and gave me breath.
You filled my lungs with goodness
And opened my mouth
So that I could praise you.

My place is lowly, for I cannot say,
"It was I who saved myself!"
No, but I owe everything to You!
I am humbled by Your Grace;
I am in awe of Your Mercy.
Such things are too wonderful for me.
My God, Your unfailing Love 
I will never understand.
