The first time I recorded this, I did it live at my old acoustic piano, and videoed it. I thought it was a pretty enough song, that it deserved a better recording, and to be uploaded to iTunes and other music sites.

I like the refrain in this one- it's strong and resolute; there's something positive and anticipatory about it. "But I trust in you, I say ‘You are my God.’

How many times have I felt the need for God's peace? Often I've felt like I was wasting away from grief, the scorn of my enemies, people scheming together to undermine me! To be able to sing out, at the top of my lungs, that I choose faith and trust! it's beautiful.

Will you join with me in this song of praise?

Psalm 31:9-16

9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
my eye wastes away from grief,
my soul and body also.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my misery,
and my bones waste away.
11 I am the scorn of all my adversaries,
a horror to my neighbours,
an object of dread to my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;
I have become like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the whispering of many—
terror all around!—
as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
14 But I trust in you, O Lord;
I say, ‘You are my God.’
15 My times are in your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
16 Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love.
