The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him! (Psalm 64:10)

Starting this day lifting my head to You,
my refuge and strength.

In the weariness of my body –
the drooping eyes, tight muscles,
heavy mind, murky heart –
I still drag myself here to hear Your voice
and behold Your glory.

“In quietness and rest will be your salvation” –
so I come in quiet and stillness
to find rest in You.

You are my God,
and there is no other.
