Psalm 27 was the psalm today…I read it aloud at community prayer and then played an astounding version by the Notre Dame Folk choir on their Catch the Spirit live album. The feeling I had within me came out sounding like a poem…

Light and Salvation

Sometimes oh,
sometimes it feels 
like the psalmist is singing
my song, my step, my
inside and my outside,
body, mind, and spirit.
Whom
shall I fear?

May your light
and your salvation 
fill me, uphold me,
be the weight that steadies me,
and the wings that carry me;
the music that saturates my soul
with courage in the land of the living.
Whom shall I fear?

I believe that I shall see
your beauty and know 
your love;
I believe that you
are my refuge and my freedom;
my fullness and my patience.
And so I wait and so I ask,
Whom shall I fear?
