Needy And Poor

 

Based on Psalm 70

 

Lord, I too am needy and I am poor,

My spirit is wounded, my heart is sore,

Come to me Father, please do not delay,

Please come to me quickly, I humbly pray,

Enemies surround me with hue and cry,

That I must not live, by them I must die,

But You’re my deliverance, my sure stronghold,

Let Your mighty powers on them unfold,

Make them to be turned back from each evil way,

Lord upon them Your mighty power display,

All who desire my hurt and destruction,

Make them to be turned back with every action.

Lord, all who love You and Your grace would seek,

The poor, the humble, the needy and meek,

Rejoice and in You be exceeding glad,

As grace and mercy upon them You add,

For You are their hope, their sure salvation,

Magnifying You in celebration,

Come now Lord with haste, please do not delay,

Make haste with Your freeing, saving array,

You are my help and my deliverer,

My Saviour, my Lord and Loving Master.

Amen!
