Sunday Psalms;

For the choir director. 

A psalm of David.

Lord, 

you have searched me and known me.

You know when I sit down and when I stand up; 

you understand my thoughts from far away.

You observe my travels and my rest; 

you are aware of all my ways.

Psalms 139:1-3 CSB

David writes this song about Yahweh being far away, yet close.

He sees Yahweh as somehow seeing his choices, what's going on on the outside, from a long way away, but somehow connected and knowing what's going on inside, at the same time.

Perhaps this is David's way of making sense of our God who is present in Creation yet is distant, our God who at times whispers into our hearts in the midst of the toughest of times, yet doesn't, or didn't, fix things for us.

Perhaps this song is David trying to figure out the Big Story, and how his small story fits in.

Perhaps David knows what it is to be fully known, and to be loved, to be Beloved.

Songs are written to be sung, repeated, to move us, lift us, shape us in ways that ideas can't, concepts can't, songs are about getting in to our heart's story...

Let this songs in today, let the songs of worship and praise in today, let the songs connect with your heart's story...
