psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear
When He is the stronghold of my life?

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear
When He is the stronghold of my life?

One thing I ask of the Lord
This is what I seek
Above all else

That all the days of my life
I would dwell with Him
Here in His house

For He will keep me safe in His dwelling
My refuge and my rock
And I will gaze upon His beauty

Yes, in the day of trouble I'll be singing
With shouts of joy
I will make music to the Lord

(Repeat song)

re-opening the wound

"Lamentations comfort only by lacerating the heart still more. Such grief does not desire consolation. It feeds on the sense of its hopelessness. Lamentations spring only from the constant craving to re-open the wound."

~Dostoevskey: The Brothers Karamazov
