Almost a year ago (March 31, 2018) I posted a reflection about “waiting” during Holy Week, and that post included a new song I composed and performed with my two musical partners, John Caravelli and Phil Cooper. A year later, we now have a video to go with the song, so I thought I would post it here.
Sit with it, pray with it, let it be a reminder that God is present throughout all of our days and nights…
Psalm for a Day
When the morning sun
Defeats the darkest night
I will hope in you, Lord
I will hope in you.
When the sparrow flies
And the flower blooms
I will hope in you, Lord
I will hope in you.
I will accept the peace beyond
All my understanding
And I will find you there
I will trust in you
I will trust in you.
When the evening calms
And the madness fades
I will look to you, Lord
I will look to you.
When the setting sun
Sheds its final light
I will look for you, Lord
I will look for you.
When the darkness falls
And I close my eyes
I will rest in you, Lord
I will rest in you.
I will rest in you, Lord
I will rest in you.

Beautiful, thanks!
Since my daughter’s death nearly two years ago, I made the phrase “Jesus, I trust in You” a mantra. At first it was with sadness but time, mercy and grace has evolved into a phrase of praise. This hymn is that praise. Thank you! God bless you.
Thank you, Jan, for writing to say that. To be able to turn grief into praise is a grace indeed.

Thanks, Judy.
