Bridges & Intersections

In the dungeon of my affliction,
Your silence, O LORD,
is worse than the pangs of loneliness.
My iniquities dug this pit;
My choices pushed me over the edge.
How can I rise from the depths of my darkness?
How can I deliver myself from my delusions?
How can I destroy my pride?
How can I undo the evil that I have done?

Only the LORD can
Only the Most High can
Only the Almighty one can
Only the Holy One can

Create in me a pure heart O LORD
Renew my mind
so that my thoughts will be straight.
Remove our blindness
so that we may join You in what You are doing.
Open our ears that we may hear Your word.
You spoke the world to existence.
With Your breath, what once was not now exists.
Who is like You O Lord?
Who can compare with your glory and majesty?
You are worthy of the highest praise.
Lift my head up in the day of trouble.
I need only You,
Because in You, I have everything I need.
