The ONE WHO Made Heaven and Earth

 "MY hurt is too great for me

My enemies are too great for me."

Oh, LORD, while these things be

I know that nothing is impossible for THEE.

But, I know that YOUR love is constant

Because YOU have carried me from an infant

And I have, at long last, learned

That as long as, on this earth, I remain

YOU,  just as YOU have always been

Will remain my keeper and my FRIEND.

In times now and in recorded times that have been

I take comfort in the fact that I am

Reminded to look to the hills and remember

That the MAKER of the hills, mountains

Valleys, the sea and all

Never sleeps and is ever able and ready

To answer my mewling call.

Yes, I take comfort in YOUR presence

And offer thanksgiving and praise to YOU

As I think on marvel on, and prate about

The things that YOU, my FATHER, can do.

And though I never saw the hills skip

Nor saw the oceans flee

And never saw the Jordan turn back

Nor heard creation's praise song to YOU outpour

I know by reading YOUR word that

YOU, powerful and praiseworthy FATHER

By YOUR mere presence, can

Do all these things and more!

 

"MY hurt is too great for me

My enemies are too great for me."

Oh, LORD, though these things be

I shall remember from this time forth

That nothing is impossible for THEE,

FATHER of me and all that be!©

Psalm 121:1-2 King James Version (KJV)

¹ I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. (I raise my eyes toward the sky and ask in mewling simplicity, "FATHER, help me, please...")

² My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. (Then I acknowledge HIM and thank HIM for HIS presence in my life and for HIS healing my wounded heart and for HIS giving me the stamina to go on...) (Somebody might say, "I don't see all of that in that verse," but to that I say, "This is my take on the verse and since I was using this verse as a part of my prayer, don't you know that the Spirit that dwells within us 'knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts and utters prayers with words that can scarce be uttered?'")
