Psalm
18: For What Purpose Was I Saved?
Amos Wilson (February, 8
2015)
My God
you have delivered me,
Yet
for what purpose was I saved?
– I
surely don't deserve your grace,
I
should slave,
Into
the grave –
For
what purpose, tell?
Listen,
listen well.
Against
the striving of my kin,
You
made me head to reign supreme.
Even
the tribes from lands unknown,
Will
tribute bring,
To me
as king –
Then
for what purpose saved?
To
rule o'er what You gave.
I will
exalt the Lord who saved.
Life
is Christ – so I will praise,
Since
God destroyed and fought my foes,
To God
of days,
I
write my lays –
So for
what purpose then?
To
sing His praise to men.
For
years He has delivered me,
And
showed me mercy just,
To me
and mine forever more,
O Lord
of us,
In You
I trust –
Then
for what purpose, say?
To
know where I must stay.
