A Poem Inspired By Psalm 107 & Psalm 139

Ponder the loving deeds of LORD

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so

When I tossed and turned

And my stomach churned

And my skin burned

You held me

As my mind spun

And I wanted to run

Through the promise of your Son

You held me

Many times, I’ve failed

And in my nerves bailed

But while I felt jailed

You held me

When I cried out to you

Doing all I know to do

And though I wasn’t in a pew

You held me

When I couldn’t eat

And my spirit felt beat

When I envied the weak

You held me

When lies seemed true

Causing me to question what I knew

The Spirit of truth came through

You held me

You teach me through these things

You are my reason to sing

My life and death are yours, my King

You held me

Darkness is not dark to you

Sorrow, nothing you haven’t already been through

My Savior, the King of the Jews

You held me

No time and no place

Will I ever be without your grace

Despite my stumbling in the race

You held me

Before I existed

Your love was consistent

Though I had no subsistence

You held me

You have answered once again

My Savior, My God, My Friend

My soul sings like a wren

You held me

Another battle, another victory

A sound defeat of the devil’s trickery

This servant of the LORD cries out with glee

You held me

Though other battles will come

I smile knowing the war is won

And again I’ll say as your son

You held me

Ponder the loving deeds of the LORD

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so
