Psalm 152
Psalm 152. Deliver me Lord from those Who would take me from You If only they could. *** Deliver me from this World and the lying enemy, Its false glitter, temptations and subtle promises, From its tidal wave threats buckling me over, And the vain pursuit of self, mammon and power. Help me to run […]
