Prison Psalm

Lord my enemies surround me
They shout at me from behind bars
They make a noise and throw things about
Lord confound their taunts
Silence their threats
Lord I pray
Please convict them in their rage.

Lord you prove me innocent of crimes against them
Uphold my cause!
Free me from the burning of shame and wrath
Lord please make my skies clear
And my nights peaceful

Amen.

Innocence

Lord when my image crumbles
You reveal the truth
Lord when I feel frightened
You give me peace of mind.
Lord when others threaten me
You show me how to forgive
Lord your love endures through all things.

Your truth is light for my life
I have made mistakes Lord
But you've shown me the right way to live

I look up to you
Please help me be me 
Among a world of misunderstanding.
