Arise, oh Lord, and rescue me
From you alone comes victory
You alone conquer enemies
Arise, oh Lord
and rescue me
I'm fast asleep without a sound
Though my enemies surround
Oh, how soundly is my sleep
When the night watch, the Lord keeps
And you answer
Yes, you answer when I call on you
My foes are many, they rise against
And cause my friends to doubt me when
I claim that you will rescue me
I know you my shield and my strength to be
I know you my shield and my strength to be
You hold my head high, you are my glory

Psalm 2
They plot and they scheme, the nations and kings
The rulers on earth stand together
They scheme and they plot, but wise are they not
To, "throw off their chains and their fetters"
And you just laugh at them
You scoff and laugh at them
Your king sits on the throne
And we fall to our knees and we shake as we praise him
The world is his to own
And the nations are his to rule as he pleases
Be warned and be wise, his anger will rise
Who spit in his face when they refuse
Be wise and be warned, you rulers on earth
What joy for who in him take refuge

Ever Green (Psalm 1)
I'll admit it, I'm not a great vocalist. Yet somehow, I've managed to find myself leading worship. Now, I can sing melodies which I write well enough, but having to sing someone else's melody is a different story. There are a lot of great worship songs that are ripe with the Gospel--songs I love, but are too difficult for me to sing. So I've decided to write my own hymnal. Over the course of the next 150 weeks (give or take), I'm going to write a song based on each Psalm. Here is Psalm 1...
Ever Green
Their roots run deep
day and night, from your river of life,
they drink
the truth which comes from your lips
and your word is all they need
to keep their leaves ever green
but not the wicked
no, not the wicked
They are as chaff in the wind
Rejects with no home
They have no mass, no foundation
They are next to dust
but not the righteous
no, not the righteous
They are planted in your word
and it ever bears fruit
Not only are they prosperous
but see the strength of their roots!
No force can break, no arm can bend
those who take root in your garden
those who walk the path you defend
