נ Nun
Night and darkness give way,
Parted by the headlight beam
Of your Voice,
Lighting the road ahead of me.
Now and always,
I vow it with all my heart,
I will keep your righteous rules.
Numb
From all the pain,
Make me alive again,
Make me feel again, Yahweh,
As I listen to your Voice.
Now, here I am,
Freely offering a sacrifice of praise.
So, please, teach me your laws.
Never will I forget
Your torah-way,
Even as my life slowly slips
Through my fingers.
Nefarious plans to sabotage me
Don’t alter my direction
Or scare me from the path you’ve revealed.
Nothing at all
Do I want as my inheritance,
Except this one thing:
Your instructions.
They are my heart’s great joy.
Needlepoint focus
Keeps me keeping
Your law to the very end.
