Excerpts
Four psalms from Volume One

A small selection, in the order they sit on the scroll. The full collection holds forty-six.

Souls

Love is like a flower — how tenderhearted, so fragile in the Creator's imagination; the kindness of the Father in reality.

"You are mine as I am yours," He says. As I imagine, so are you. Take hold of the earth; be fruitful, multiply, subdue, and dominate. Forgive and forget, just like I do.

In my loving kindness I fashioned you, in my heart I kept you.

Oh, my love,
Oh, my love — where are thou? From time to eternity past.

✦
Secret Place

I was in your tenderness, in the Father's hand;
Your loving kindness was my dwelling place.

In your smile I see life; your peace bringeth joy; in your presence is life unspeakable.

My words cannot comprehend, neither can my thought — in you dwells wisdom, even before time began. Knowledge was a child and understanding a baby in your arms.

Keep me in your dwelling place, deep in the presence of your loving kindness.

✦
Death, Resurrection and Life

Death before life; life after death.

You came as a lamb, rose as a lion. You give life to the faint and hope to the hopeless.

In death you glorified the meek; in life you justified the just.

Resurrect your life in the souls of men — let the living have life. Open the eyes of our sight; let us understand. Purge our hearts from our lust; let our desire be your will. Shine your light on our path; let us walk free.

From the glory of the eternal, the living have life; the dead have hope, and the blind can see.

Come, oh Lord, and manifest your life, just as you did in times of old.

✦
Glimpses from the Future

Shade my eyes and increase my perception.

Inflict my heart with your thoughts; commune your words with my spirit.

What a wonderful sight — when my heart finally sees, my thoughts finally think. A wonderful life from the Father’s sight.

In my knowledge I am wise; the soul of my heart gains understanding — but blindness lives in my imagination.

Show me the true light; let me see. Light up my lamp, so I can walk in your truth and embody your life.
