The Heart's Cry: Psalm 119

Psalm 119

Ok, ok, I get it, there has been too many days in a row where instead of something long and complicated I have shared a song or a poem or a song and here I go again. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, comprising 176 verses and as I sat here and contemplated how to narrow it down to just a couple words, a couple paragraphs, a couple thoughts I realized that I already did 12 years ago, soad here is Road Signs

road signs along the walk of life
I see them as I'm passing them by
I look forward always ever onward
never bother to look back at my life
sometimes I feel so out of place
like my life is just a sham
I never know just where I'm going
never can forget where I've been
and I need to slow down, just to look around at

Chorus:
the signs of life
that I so often miss
the words of life
that I so often skip
and I know, that something's coming
coming down the road

dreams dreamt momentarily lost
I see them as they're passing me by
I look backward never going forward
looking back at the scheme of my life
sometimes I feel I'm where I should be
it's never really where I am
I don't know exactly where I'm aiming
try forgetting what I've never done
and I need to slow down, just to stop and wait for

Chorus:

Bridge:
and while I'm not sure what it is
I think it may be real good
so I sit and ponder my predicament
I sit and wonder over all you've done
you gave your word, you gave your son
you gave your all, to make sure it was done
and here I sit, here we are, running circles
around your love, wondering where you are
where you are, I sit and wait

Chorus:
