A Ballad — Our bones are scattered by the grave, Unearthed to turn the soil; The crypt is furrowed, straight and true, The cemetery’s spoiled. My enemies have laid a snare To catch me in a lie, But You will not leave me exposed; God, You are my ally. I stand with You…

Psalm 140 — Deliver Me From Evil

A Ballad — Deliver me from vipers, God, Who whet their tongues as swords, And spit fierce venom from their lips, Who ever practise war. Restrain their hands away from me Who spread a net to snare. They yearn to see me trip and fall; They lust to see me scared. O Love…

Psalm 138 — You Complete Me

A Kyrielle — Although I walk through violence, And in the midst of riots pace, You will keep me from aggressors. Your mercy, God, endures forever. When I cried out, You answered me And made me bold; You strengthened me. Now we will sing and dance together. Your mercy, God, endures forever. You stand between me and my foes You save me from all who oppose, And You complete me, to my pleasure. Your mercy, God, endures forever.
