A Prayer to Master of My Life

This musical creation was inspired by the words of Psalm 42. You might have to read the entire psalm to see which parts of it made it into the video. What came of it is a prayerful reflection of praise that I wanted to share with others.

Here are the lyrics:

My soul it stirs, it churns inside in the land of Jordan, as I climb. From Hermon's peaks to Mitzar heights, my journey breaks and trail hides. Deep calls unto deep as I hear, waves of life, waters ripple near. I find no rest like a swelling sea, memories as waterfalls roll over me...

יוֹמָם יְצַוֶה יהוה חַסְדּוֹ וּבַלַיְלָה שִׁירֹה עִמִּי
At night the LORD gives me a song by day ADONAI his love decrees.
תְּפִלָה לְאֵל חַיָּי אוֹמְרָה לְאֵל סַלְעִי
A prayer to Master of my Life to you alone, my Rock I sing.

As a deer thirsts for water streams, I long for God to dwell within my soul that hungers for his light, desires no food, I wait all night. They ask me, Where is your God? His shelter's presence, I forgot. Words flee as I attempt to pray. I feel no strength, yet I will wait...

Taunting my sorrow, silent scream as a whisper interrupts my dream. This moment I was waiting for, a gentle voice I've heard before. Oppression flees, I rise to pray. My God is near, and I'm not afraid. Salvation comes in the dark of night, deep calls to deep, and I feel alive...
