Poor Man
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
Uplifting Poetry
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
Incline your ear
To me, O Lord
That I may hear
Answer me
I’m poor and needy
Preserve my life
Free me from strife
Save the servant
Who is fervent
You are my God
To you do I trod
I cry all the day
And you show me the way
Gladden my soul
Cleanse my heart’s bowl
I lift it up to you
You, my friend, give each one their due
You are good and forgiving
Abounding in abundant living
Listen to my prayer
Save me from evil’s lair
In the day of trouble
I call when covered in rubble
But you hear
You are near
There is none
None like your Son
Nor any works
Or deeds, you love my quirks
You are great, wondrous
Only you send me everything, no less
Deliver me from sayers of sooth
That I may walk in your truth
Unite to the law
To be in awe
I give thanks
No late fees in your banks
I glorify your name
Merciful love eases my pain
The dark depths have no hold
On my soul, I will never fold
Violent men seek me in their sight
Protect me, you alone who fight
But you are gracious
I seek a remedy ever efficacious
Faithfulness you are
Take pity, by your many scars
Give your servant strength
Save me from great lengths
Show me a sign
May I come and dine?
In your house
Because you have doused
Us in your favor
Because you help me
And never waver
