Psalm 130 — You Are My Safe Place

A free-verse poem

I am drowning.
Hear me, God!
Have mercy on my soul.
O my God, if You documented
A catalogue of every single sin,
Who could stand?

I wait for You,
O my Love;
My soul and spirit yearn for You,
Ache for You,
More than the sun longs for the dawn,
More than the grass craves the rain.

You are my Light
When I’m lost in the night.
O God, lead me home;
You are my safe place.
