IN GOD'S CARE [part 1] (Songs Based on Psalms 131 & 23)  [27th Sept.2025]

Psalm 131

Inspired by Psalm 131 from The Passion Translation

“Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head— such as your complex mysteries and wonders— that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭131‬ The Passion Translation

My Heart is Meek

I wrote this song when I was very sad, and disappointed in myself. I didn't know how to recover. i felt like a failure. I still feel like a failure, but writing this song gave me hope, because Jesus gave me the insight and understanding and gift and lyrics and melody and harmonies for this song. it's a dance song, but it's also hopeful song. It's not every day that we get to stop and consider our ways. It's not every day that the son of God dies on a cross. But, what he did once gives us endless opportunities to seek Him and experience hope found in jesus.

Elements

My Heart is not raised up (Psalm 131)

O be still be quiet my soul
Be gone you haughty eyes
I need You to live 
Not what You give
Don’t need this pride 

What do I do, when I know I’m Your child
Oh You’re everything I long for
But I forget it sometimes

When all is said and done
All the world got nothing on You

I’m letting go of these ambitions (I’m losing my life)
No I ain’t counting on emotions ('cuz You did for mine)

O be still be quiet my soul
Be gone you haughty eyes
I need You to live 
Not what You give
Don’t need this pride 

Tell me what I need to know
Tell me what I need to know
"Be still and don't let go”
"Be still and don't let go”

I’m still and now I’m home
I’m still and now I’m home
No, You won’t let me go
No, You won’t let me go

Weaned (Psalm 131)

I love daft punk, but I also love the carpenters. I love the 80s, but I prefer ballads. And first and foremost, God is my rock and salvation. He inspires all my music. But, I’m not perfect. I’m a sinner. But, He is able.

My journey in life has not been a straight line. I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness in middle school. I was taken out of school as a result. But, I graduated college. God has been there through it all.

Psalm 23 (Though I walk Through The Valley)
