Praying the Psalm – v3

His song, so special,
there on the cross
sung by Jesus
so right, so rich
When Christ became our sacrifice

We pray the Psalm,
murmuring the words of love,
of assurance, of quiet
of loss, of promise
of all fulfilled

words that we hold dear
in vivid word pictures
a cascade of thoughts,
in this ancient song,
of holy belief

in the love of the Shepherd
for each of His sheep
for the Creator, for the Lamb
our Savior, climbing
there on the cross
