OUR FATHER IN WHOSE ARMS I AM SECURE

From Psalm 141;

May my prayer like incense rise before Your throne

I lift my hands as a sacrifice to worship You alone (x2)

My eyes are fixed on you, Oh Sovereign Lord

Hear me when I call  

While I'm in the safety of Your arms

Never will I fall (X3)

Psalm 141

1 I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me;  hear me when I call to you.

2 May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;  keep watch over the door of my lips.

4 Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.

5 Let a righteous man strike me-that is a kindness; let him rebuke me-that is oil on my head.

My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

6 Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.

7 They will say, -As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.

8 But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge-do not give me over to death.

9 Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers,  from the snares they have laid for me.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
