Dave's Diary

Psalm 79

Almighty God:
When disaster strikes me down
and all I hold dear is destroyed;
When what is most sacred is now desecrated
and my hopes and my dreams lie in ruins,
defeated;
When my plans are all dead
and buried below,
and You, my God, are defamed
because I am Your child who calls on Your Name
and I’m stuck here
in desperate shame –
Rise up then, my Lord, and come to my aid;
In Your mercy, Lord, rescue and save.
Forgive me for doubting
and blaming You, Lord;
Please hear me and come
make a way.
Then I will give thanks and praise to Your Name
my Saviour, Redeemer, and Lord.
Forever and ever I’ll worship You, Lord,
and celebrate Your saving grace.
Amen!
