The One I Praise

Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.   Jeremiah 17:14

I have traveled so far,

still I return, to this place

where I once began,

this land of degradation and pain,

where darkness and silence live

hand in hand;

I have traveled so far,

yet have I gone nowhere?

deliver me O LORD,

do not give me more than my

broken spirit can bear,

do not leave me here to face

the enemy I could never

overcome alone;

in You will I place my trust,

in You will I seek my hope,

in You will I find my salvation,

in You will I enter my rest;

touch me that I might be healed,

test me that I may be confirmed,

turn me from paths that do not lead to You,

teach me how to walk in Your light;

for if You heal me O LORD,

I will be healed,

if You save me,

I will be saved;

for You are the One

I praise.
