Psalm 61—Blow your love through me until I whistle with it.

Rendition of Psalm 61

Hear me. I send my song
From the farthest flung deep.
My blood seeps through my body
At a faint pace and my whole heart ebbs.
I am afraid.

Walk me to the rock higher than I, 
Summit me to the stormtower; 
I need somewhere to hide.
If God is my refuge, my enemies
Can billow and buck around me,
But I will be safe.

Lord, let me shelter there forever.
I want to live where you live.
Keep me. Save me. Take me in.

You have heard my words,
How I begged for help
And swore myself to you, 
If only you would give me good
And rout out all my waking fears. 

Now, ride your reign down like wind.
Winnow me up and 
Make my enemies chaff all away. 
Blow your love through me
Until I whistle with it. 

Hold all my life safe in your hands;
I will live every one of my promises.
