There is joy in your name!
You are Father, Councillor, Shepherd
and I will sing your praise!
How deep did I sink?
In the depth I was stuck
Like a muddy boot, your living water showered clean again,
It’s colour revealed bright again
It’s design and purpose restored.
My eyes were blinded to your desire for me
My eyes and mouth mired by muck and lies
My voice stuck, my heart choked,
In silence, in waiting you unstuck me
By your quiet clarion call,
Your flock, my brothers and sisters calling me up
I surface singing and smiling again
I see clarity, reminded of your renown
As promise keeper in perfect time
I'm kept under the shield of your wings,
Safe in the cleft of the mighty Rock
the still yet impenetrable Rock
In safety I praise you!
I sing again to Abba
I speak to my friend
I worship my King
There is joy in your name!
You are Father, Councillor, Shepherd
and I will sing praise!
