(A David psalm. For singing.)
Hello? Um, Yahweh?
Are you busy? Or have you just forgotten me?
Because I’ve been waiting for like forever!
Why won’t you even look over here?
Why won’t you give me the time of day?
I can’t get away from these ugly thoughts.
They just keep circling around in my head,
Driving me deeper into myself
And this dark, dark mood.
That guy out to get me:
He’s going to win.
So, stop what you’re doing and look at me!
Say something or I die.
That guy out to get me:
He’s planning his victory party.
“So much for that loser,” he’ll say.
There’s only one good thought left
And I cling to it for dear life:
You don’t quit on those you love.
And just like that,
Right in the middle of my funk,
My heart wakes up again
And starts singing a salvation song,
For you have been good
And you are being good
And you will always be good
To me.
