A song I want to share with you all as I type this out in the early morning, touches my heart; something to dwell on before the sunrises. Based on the scripture Psalm 130: 6 "My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning", David delcares His hope for God's redemption... a hope promised, not to be broken. To express the level of "wait" from King David, He says even more than the watchmen, and repeats it AGAIN! A watchman would patiently wait for the first signs of the dawn breaking through so that the guards could relieve them of their night shift. David said even more so, his SOUL waits for the Lord. This speaks levels! In context a nation needed some change, and God's mercy was needed.
Down below is a video of the song, not best quality but it gets the message across. this song is sung by Rebecca St. James as she says, "Vulnerability and intimacy are two essentials in true worship- this song contains both"
"Out of the depths of my despair
Oh I cry Father hear my voice
Open Your ears to hear my mercy cry
And if You kept a book of sin
Oh Father, who'd be standing?
But in Your goodness there is mercy and forgiveness
More than the watchmen wait for morning
My soul it waits for You
More than the watchmen wait for morning
More than the watchmen wait for morning
My soul waits for You
More than the watchmen wait for morning"
