Rendition of Psalm 16I came to shelter with you Like you were the last hiding place left While the rumbling world clattered down. You are my God, what other home Have I but where you are? What other family have I but yours? Those who sell themselves To other gods will find that sorrow Billows all around them, Steals in through the cracks, And settle…
Beautiful, Andy. The rhyme at the end of the last stanza hits like a truck.
I vote 'A Whisper of Wings' for the title, it's the hinge line, so worth underlining, but not a spoiler (no-one likes the punchline in the title).
Congrats on the house, and the publishing, that's huge.
All our love from Scotland.
“Hidden in the loss was another life.” What a great summary of the gospel! Maybe “Savage Light” for the title?
One of my fave psalms, too. I haven’t spent much time thinking about how Paul’s reading of scripture would have changed after his conversion… It makes sense to me that he would use it less for self-justification than for wonder. Congrats on getting 1/5 of the way through these renditions! It’s a lovely project.
