Why I love the psalms
by
John Butterfield
Long long ago people were
like us in so many ways
but when they came to worship God
their hymnal was much more than praise
They grieved and cried and raged at God
they shared their passions bold
to hammer on the doors of heaven
at God's silence in days of old.
I love the psalms that show me
that God wants me to be
faithful to the inner self
that only God can see
I want to share my pain with God
God sees my anger too
God also sees my vengeful self
God knows me through and through
I want this honesty with God
So that I shan’t pretend
that everything is easy
because Jesus is my friend.
