Bayou Psalm
(from Elishah’s album, Nothing’s Broken)
Oh, Lord, have mercy on me
Wretched man that I am
I have forsaken Your love
In this forsaken land
My foes attack me all day
And they won’t let me be
But when I’m feeling scared
You reach out to me
I’ll trust in You and I won’t be afraid
My sins have taken hold of me
I’m captive to my shame
But when my past sneaks up on me
I find freedom in Your name
You hear every word I speak
And You collect my tears
You remember every single one
All through my years
