Show Thy Marvellous Loving Kindness -Psalm 17: 7
let us pray unto our loving Lord
this one who's so full of kindness
such a marvelous thing to know
for we're darkened in our blindness
My gracious God father in heaven
penetrate into my intellect so light
take away all that's just ignorance
put there righteous knowledge so bright
Delicately cut open all my emotions
show your loving kindness into my heart
fill it full of my immense gratitude
may it honour you in no small part
Make my faith even as mustard seed
to grow up into a large oak tree
renew me with your full confidence
so my testimony's real for all to see
In my experience make it all so real
have thy loving kindness so dear
so I be delivered completely from all
that would bring upon me any fear
Thank you O my Lord and king
answer this prayer I do humbly bring
for you have shown such love again
to me a sinner redeemed! Glory amen!
(Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.' Psalm 17: 7(KJV)
'Show it to my intellect and remove my ignorance,
show it to my heart and receive my gratitude,
show it to my faith and renew my confidence,
show it to my experience and deliver me from all my fears'
C.H. Spurgeon - commentary on Psalms 17 v. 7)
