I Lay Down and Slept

I see them coming;
They are too many.
My enemies, they
Set their face to mine,
Angry fists upraised.

For this thirst it is
Not enough to die.
They drive my love, soul,
From your holy will.
As I flee tonight
Into the desert
I can hear them cry,
“God can’t save him. No.”

I lay down and slept
And I woke again
For you defended me.
I lay down and slept
And I woke again
For you sustained me
Selah.

I see them coming.
There are too many
Up against me, now
They surround me, but
I am not afraid.

A shield about me,
You, my glory, the
Lifter of my head,
Hope, above this plane.
From your holy hill
You can hear me cry.
You speak my name and
Call me from the dead,
Answered me in pain.

I lay down and slept
And I woke again
For you defended me.
I lay down and slept
And I woke again
For you sustained me
Selah.

Psalm 3

Blasphemy

The crowd
gathered, so
They could not eat.
His family

Went out to seize him.
They were saying,
He is out
of his mind.
The scribes

were saying,
He is possessed by Beelzebul.
By the prince of demons
He casts out
 the demons.
He called

them to him
And spoke to them
In parables.

How can Satan cast out Satan?
A kingdom divided cannot stand;
A house against itself will come down.

He’s out of his mind,
Out of his mind, unclean,
Blasphemy.
He spoke to them,
Out of his mind, unclean.
Out of his mind,
Out of his mind,
Blasphemy!


 (Mark 3:20-25 ESV)

Disobedient

You told me not to say anything about you.
I am not worthy. My spirit is unclean;
The weight of it pulls me down
Until I fall - until I cry,
You are the Son of God.

(Mark 3:91-12)
