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)
2
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.
