Instagram caption: Words don't seem to be enough these days. Been thinking of a Poetry and Psalms class I took in undergrad, specifically the laments and how the praise and lament exist together. Listening to "Resting Place" by Ordinary Time tonight:

O my God hear my cry
listen to my prayer
I call to you from afar
I call as my heart grows faint
You have heard each word I say
Lord you have heard my vows
Lead me to a higher place
Then I will ever sing your praise

Then I will ever sing your praise

Lord my enemies surround
They taunt me night and day
There is no peace for me at all
Lord bring me to a resting place
Lord bring me to a resting place

Psalm 121:1-2 "I look up to the mountains--does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth!" #thoughitlingerswait 40 Days of Trees and Ordinary Things
