From Prayer to Psalm

"My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer." ~ Psalms 45:1 NKJV

By His name, we ask for guidance.
By His name, we ask for purpose.

But how shall we proceed when our heart is challenged?
How do I praise You in the gifts I’ve been given?
How do I worship You deeper in my mind?

I shall use my hand to write all my thoughts,
for it is in them that I share Your image.

From You flows out the rush of joy.
From You flows out the stillness of peace.

Where shall these rivers pave the way
for Your living water to quench our thirst?
How shall You flow to water the seeds for growth?

My heart cries out for You, oh Lord!
My mind rests on You, oh Lord!

For each prayer that comes from Your Spirit,
may it be proclaimed in song!

How Your Spirit flows to write such psalms
is revealed in You all along!
