This morning as I was getting ready for work the song All Fall Down by MercyMe was playing on my iPod. I paused my iPod towards the end of this song for my prayer time and picked up my book of Psalms for Prayer to read the next psalm, which happened to be Psalm 139. I had to smile when I got to verse 14 because it is one of the lines in the song I had just been listening to. Psalm 139:14 says, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
I decided to write a short psalm of my own based on this verse and to also share the song by MercyMe. Because it is Tuesday, I will be sharing this later today for Open Link Night at dVerse Poets Pub.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
I will praise You, O Lord
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made
You are the Creator of my soul
my mind, my talents and strengths
You knew me before I was
and had a plan for all my days
Take my strengths, O Lord
and use them to Your glory
You are the Creator of all that I am
Your ways are too wonderful for me to understand
Take my weaknesses, O Lord, my God
and show Your might and power to overcome
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
to You belongs all my praise
