Modern Psalm - Raw, Honest, and Dangerous · Millennial Mustard Seed

• 0:35
  Don't even let the wicked kiss the top of my feet.
• 0:39
  My enemies are unworthy to be over the top of my feet.
• 0:43
  Under foot is the only place appropriate for them.
• 0:49
  Let them bow low, even lower. Let them remain face down.
• 0:54
  Let them not even see the brightness of Your glory as You
• 0:57
  come to rescue me. Your beauty is for the eyes of
• 1:01
  those who You save. Only they that hate me shall
• 1:05
  have no portion of your life. A terrible mystery is your
• 1:08
  rescue to them. Like blind men, they stretch out
• 1:16
  their hands in large dark rooms, nothing to grasp, only wondering
• 1:20
  questions are they left with. But I am swept up by your glory
• 1:25
  and power, transferred in a moment quicker than the sun when
• 1:33
  it breaks through heavy clouds for just a moment.
• 1:37
  A restoration of the time I've lost is what you bring me.
• 1:40
  I cried and I wept, and you collected the scent of my
• 1:44
  brokenness. It was your choice delight.
• 1:51
  You remember the tears of many nights, for you drank of the
• 1:55
  sorrow with me. But you are mighty.
• 2:00
  I am not. The overwhelming emotions did
• 2:05
  not shake you, Lord. It kept you close to me.
• 2:08
  Your garment laid near. I reached out and touched it.
• 2:12
  Just the hem of it brought strength to me again.
• 2:16
  Just you being near it is enough.
• 2:22
  I'm low, rejected by my family, driven out of my home, strange
• 2:26
  places I've seen. Even the old ones would not dare
• 2:29
  to teach me. My own children do not know my
• 2:32
  name, and they turn away from me when I call and ask for them to
• 2:36
  come near. But you, O Lord, you had pity on
• 2:42
  me, removing my shame. You saw me as clay and enjoyed
• 2:49
  molding me softly and secretly. It is the glimpses you shared
• 2:55
  with me, of what would soon be that kept me alone.
• 3:00
  I did not turn away from the secret visions we shared.
• 3:05
  You gave them to me as I ran from torment.
• 3:08
  You opened up the heavens for a moment as I laid desperate and
• 3:12
  near death. One look from you and I
• 3:14
  straightened up. One word from you and I forgot
• 3:17
  the lies of 1000 enemies. One touch and the scars of many
• 3:22
  spiritual wars vanished. With this hope I have in you,
• 3:30
  Lord, I stand innocent. I stand righteous against a
• 3:35
  generation of thieves and bandits.
• 3:37
  I walk through this life dependent on you.
• 3:44
  You are in me, O Lord. I'm like you when you reach down
• 3:49
  low to me. The men of war cannot even see
• 3:52
  me as I pass by. They don't have eyes to see.
• 3:56
  It's a secret footstep. It falls quiet to their ears.
• 4:04
  It's like wind. I am like the wind to those who
• 4:08
  hate you. I can only be felt for a moment
• 4:12
  and then I quickly move to distant lands.
