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.
