Psalm 709

A Psalm by Heather. Written while she was sitting on a table on a Friday afternoon.

Oh God, you have created me from nothing.
You have taken me, a worthless piece of clay
and You have molded me into a beautiful creation.
Lord, Your name is to be praised forevermore.
Mere humans cannot even begin to see Your beauty,
You are beyond words.
My heart hungers for You, oh God.
Even when I am a disobedient child,
You, my Father, continue to love me.
When all else fails Lord, You remain
steadfast and strong...
You are unchanging, never failing.
I will praise your name all my life.
Never have I found, or will I ever find, a love
greater than Yours.
Lord, I will never be worthy of Your love.
But You, oh Gracious Father, have made me worthy by loving me anyways.
Forever, oh Lord, let Your name be praised.
Forever may Your Word, Your love, be proclaimed over the earth.
Father, I thirst for wisdom, I hunger for Your righteousness.
May my life be a testament of Your love.
