Psalm 119:49-50

Remember your word to your servant,

    in which you have made me hope.
This is my comfort in my distress,
    that your promise gives me life.

Your promise gives me Life, Lord.

Your promise tills the soil

of my heart and plants

the seeds of Salvation there.

Your promise gives me Hope.

Your words fill my lungs

and now the air I breathe in

and now the air I breathe out

is the very breath of Your Spirit.

Your promise is Living Water.

It is streams in the desert

and rushing rapids that fill

the craters of despair in my soul.

Your promise washes over me.

It cleanses me, even though I am drowning,

and then, it lifts me up and it carries me through

the canyons before setting me on the shore.

Your promise gives me Life, Lord.

Your Words are guaranteed forever,

for the infinite eternity that You inhabit,

for Your infinite eternal love that powers

the universe and gives birth to stars.

In this, I live.

In this, I love and am loved.

In this, You reign forever, Lord.

In this, I am free.

Amen.
