The Hunger Life
God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me-my whole life one long, obedient response.
Guide me down the road of your commandments; I love traveling this freeway!
Affirm your promises to me-promises made to all who fear you.
Let your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; Then I’ll be able to stand up to mockery because I trusted your Word.
Don’t ever deprive me of truth, not ever-your commandments are what I depend on.
Oh, I’ll guard with my life what you’ve revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever;
And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom;
Then I’ll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed.
I cherish your commandments-oh, how I love them! - relishing every fragment of your counsel.
(Psalm 119:33-35, 38, 41-48 MSG)
