My Psalm
-Lindsay Oravits

You know Lord, I keep thinking about it.
When you were on the cross, your final words were,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
But right now I keep on thinking,
"My God, my God, why have I forsaken you?"
I know I disappointed You God.
Yes, I am blinding myself to Your will.
And for what purpose?
So I can be happy for a few moments of my life,
when I know darn well that You can give me happiness
for Eternity?
I know You have given me so much Lord.
More than anyone ever has and ever will.
And now I feel like I've turned it away,
like a child who selfishly wants more.
Forgive me God. In my humanly ignorance,
for a brief second of my life,
I have unknowingly forgotten You.
Save me from myself Lord, for I know what I do
And I hate myself for it.
"The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want."
Help me Lord. Let me want no more.
I have given my life for You God.
I made a promise to you Lord.
Help me keep it.
