Inspired by Psalm 27
Rabbi Shawn Zevit
When pressures and perspectives of a cynical life
Threaten to bring me down
I ride the wave of undying faith
And its lies that finally drown
For one thing I ask, for one thing I long
To build Your house with my life
To see the beauty in every soul
And the light in every night
Hear me, dear One, when I cry aloud
Have mercy and answer me
My heart won’t rest until it shouts, “Seek My face”
And then your soul will be free
Though the world as we know it might crumble down
I know You won’t forsake me
Lead me on the path of a righteous life
And I know I shall surely see that
I will long for You
Wait for You
Till eternity with You
Oh, my God.
