Praying the Psalm – v4

Christ’s 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.

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

This song, so special
of the love of the Shepherd
for each of His sheep
Love for the Creator, for the Lamb
our Savior, climbing
hanging there on the cross.
