The Heart's Cry: Psalm 45

Psalm 45

11 years ago I worked my way through the Psalms during Lent, writing songs based on these poems and lyrics. Today's Psalm is a song of love for a wedding and rather than share a normal devotional with you here is my lyric from February 27 2005.

Fair Daughter, how do you do?

Fair daughter, how do you do?
where are you going,
this bright sunshiny day?
have you been down by the water's edge?
have you sniffed the flowers on the air?
and where have you been hiding, my fair?

Fair daughter, how do you do?
where have you been,
in these slow moments?
have you been walking by the evergreens?
have you heard birds sing new songs?
and where have you been sleeping, my fair?

Fair daughter, how do you do?
where have you gone,
this warm dark night?
have you been sleeping under the stars?
have you been washing under the waterfalls?
and where have you been dreaming, my fair?

Because I've been looking for you
what begins to seem like forever
and I've been dreaming of you
since my very first dream
Yes, I've been dreaming of you
since my very first dream

Fair daughter, how do you do?
where have you been hiding?
where have you been sleeping?
and where have you been dreaming, my fair?
