The Psalms help us to give voice not only to the triumphs but the struggles and longing of true authentic faith. Following on from that tradition I have included here a song I wrote as a prayer of lament for those oppressed by persecution overseas or perhaps nearer to home through illness isolation or challenging circumstances.
Though sirens scream and winds may howl we draw our strength from the hidden kingdom within.
To quote: The passion of the cross, your power over the grave, secure for us a greater hope beyond this present age.
lyrics
Speak gently to my soul
With words for troubled hearts
Come soothe me with your healing balm
And calm my anxious thoughts
The night is long and dark
I face a gathering storm
Grant solace to my weary mind
Resilience and resolve
Jesus, Jesus
I'm believing on your name
Jesus, Jesus
Be all I need today
Your purposes remain
they will not be consumes
no system based on creeds of man
can stand against your truth
The passion of the cross
Your power o'er the grave
secure for us a greater ope
beyond this present age
