“The word psaltery derives from the Ancient Greek ψαλτήριον (psaltḗrion), "stringed instrument, psaltery, harp" and that from the verb ψάλλω (psállō), "to touch sharply, to pluck, pull, twitch" and in the case of the strings of musical instruments, "to play a stringed instrument with the fingers”.

Song On a Psaltry, As A Psaltry Is (“to pluck, pull, twitch”)

If this is it, righteous shame?
I’ll bear it up for Jesus name.
If this is it, though but a taste,
I’ll swallow all, no drip left waste,
If this is that, then that changes all,
I’ll wink at fate and I’ll take faith’s call,
If this is it; the “standby task”.
Then peace though all, is all I ask.
If this is it, when men will flee?
I’ll tear it up, then turn to thee.
If this is it, then that is all.
I’ll trust my God what’er befall.

If this is it, righteous shame?
I’ll bear it up for Jesus name.
If this is it, though but a taste,
I’ll swallow all, no drip left waste.
If this is not, then what shall be,
I know you’ll make it clear to me

If This Is It

It’s All To Ready Be

Mose spoke before the Lord, As every man has done.
But, he spoke to him, as face to face
The Omnipotent One.
Direct converse, correct on verse, God’s law of government
The closest man has ever been, to Heaven’s covenant.

Thus Moses spoke, Behold mine own, they have not harkened me
How then O’Lord, will Pharaoh hear, uncut my lips e’r be?
Uncircumcised, my lips disguised, my words are hid if spake
Mine own hear not, for anguish hot, of their cruel bondage sake.

Then spoke The Lord, “See, I have made thee
A God to Pharaoh now
Thy brother Aaron, he shall speak as Prophet of my vow.
You shall see in reality, as God, the seers part
And though I shall multiply with signs, the wonder is their hearts.

The King himself, with hardened, if only he would hear
Could not comprehend, for I the Lord, have hardened heart and ears.
That I may lay my hand upon, and bring my people out.
And Mose did, and God had spoke, in sight there is no doubt.

Moses Spoke-(Exodus 6:12 & Exodus 7:1)

Oh bless’d, bless’d confirmation!
Sweet balm of Heaven unto my soul.
Oh bless’d rest from consternation,
Of Satan’s grasp to God’s control.

Oh Bless’d, bless’d Holy Spirit!
Thy manna rich from Heavenly skies.
Oh blessed peace, His voice to hear it!
From heart of God to tear dimmed eyes.

Oh bless’d, bless’d blood that cleanses!
From grievous wound, to hearts applied.
Oh blessed rest, He who defends us,
Who advocates at God’s right side.

Refrain:
Oh how bless’ed, are the bless’d
Who’ll know no lack, when losing all
Blessed be our God of blessings
Who’ll bless us yet, what’re befall.

Bless’d Be Our God Of Blessings

Happy, Happy is the man whose trust is in the Lord
And Happy are his people, who find﻿ joy there in his reward
Happiness, will rejoice and lift, through each experience
With the oil of joy anointing above their fellows those of his.

Happy, Happy is the man, who spurns the worldly pull
And happy are God’s words when heard, that joy may remain full
Happiness, is a choice a gift, for joy that’s yet ahead
The joy that is set before the happy sheep, who with happiness are lead.

Happy happy is the man, each servant of the King
And Happy are the daughters, who are called blessed for what they bring
Happiness, is a voice, so swift, which by correction brings out joy
Happy is the place, in such a case, with peace without alloy

Happy Happy is the man, who wisdom seeks in strife
And happy is he, who retains she, this precious Tree of Life
Happiness, is his still small voice, which speaks yet to me and you
And Happy is the man who hears his Word, and happiest is he who will do.

Happy, Happy, Is The Man

NOW, Faith is the ground of things hoped for.
Which By, faith we understand 
THE evidence of things not seen
Faith IS the substance, seen by man

NOW, Faith is the confidence of things hoped for
Which By, faith, were formed from naught,
The evidence of things to come
Faith sees where sight cannot

NOW, Faith is the substance of things hoped for
Which By, Faith comes righteousness 
The Author and The Finisher
 Of the evidence is Christ.

NOW, Faith (Heb 1:1)

Whither is thy beloved gone, 
Oh thou amongst the women fair? (Song of Sol 6:1)
I know that my Redeemer lives
Where have ye laid him, where?

Oh much perplexed, and anguished soul
Thy loss is gain unseen.
Seek ye the living, amongst the dead
The pure amidst unclean?

Saw ye him, whom my soul loves?
Espoused beyond the grave?
Give me but Jesus crucified!
Be thou a Gardner, or a knave?

He is not here, but risen freer
Remember ye not his words?
How yet spoke he, in Galilee 
Ye, Of His resurrection heard.

Oh blessed be, this memory!
His life, his faith prevails!
Remember we, most definitely!!
T’were not just idle tales.

Resound the tidings, speak to all!
Renew the righteous zeal!
The Lamb as Slain has overcome,
Has riven Heaven’s veil!

Whither Is Thy Beloved Gone? (Song of Solomon 6:1, Luke 24)

Exodus 3:18

“The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.”


God of 
The Light, God of The Word
of the great expanse of Heaven held unfurled 
God of 
The Branch, this Seed of thine
Of the expression of thy love, so pure divine.

God of
The Bethel, God of all vows,
This the God of the Hebrews who meets with us now (Exodus 3:18)
God of
The succession of his remnant here who bow.
This the God of
The Hebrews, who hast met with us now (Exodus 3:18)

Except 
The God of
My Father, had been with me now
Thou would’st have sent me away empty, yet before him I bow.
God of
The spirits, of all flesh He who sets men (Num 27:26)
Of the God of Gods and Lord of Lords, regarding none of them (Deut 10:17)

God of
The Truth, just and right is he
Of the perfection of his judgement and his ways of purity (Deut (32:4))
2 Samuel 22:3 (KJV)
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: 
[he is] my shield, and my salvation, my refuge, tower who savest us.

God Of (Convention- Ex 3:18)

Where are the instruments of David?
Ordained of God to sing his praise?
Where is the harp of weeping comfort?
The Psaltry bold for joyous days?
Where are the 24 appointed,
bands of 12 to glory sing?
Where are the words of Gad and Nathan
the seer’s honesty to bring?
Where are the cymbals, brass and daring 
To glory bring when beaten sound?
Where are the porters, and the singers?
Where are the instruments of old now found?
Where is the heart string, of the psaltry,
Which brought to life psalms of accent?
Where is the very thing God ordered,
When on the wall, and victory is sent?
Where is the song before the altar?
To burn with song till all is consumed?
Where is the trumpet, Mose’s ordered?
To blow in Twain, to assemble soon? 
Where are the instruments of David?
ordained of God to sing his praise?
Where is the harp of weeping comfort?
The Psaltrie bold for joyous days?
Where is the new song, David sang of?
A song of praise put on his tongue.
To sing of Joy, with joy rejoicing
With songs, with old as well as young!

Where Are The Instruments Of David? (2 Chr 29, 2 Chr 23, Neh 12)

What is the song within the temple?
Is there a rhythm, a beating heart?
Sweet soothing viols of perfection
Swells of affection from the harp?

Swing wide the Temple doors refurbished 
Set out the refuse from within
Off to the courtyard, to the Kidron
Cleanse all the house, from stains of sin

Strike up the songs of intercession
Pluck out redemptions heartfelt pain
Sing of the glory, now immortal
Sing with the Psaltry once again.

What is the song within the temple
Is there a rhythm, a beating heart?
Sweet soothing viols of perfection
Swells of affection from the harp?

The Song Within The Temple

Awake out of sleep, the night is far spent
The day is at hand and is nearer
Put on the armour of light
Cast off the dark works of night
Now is salvation believed, and made clearer.

Let us walk in the day, out of wantonnesses way 
Out of the envy of strife and it’s lusts
Put on the Lord Jesus Christ
Put off the flesh and it’s heist
Awake out of sleep, love we trust

Awake Out of Sleep (Romans 13vs10-14)

1 Samuel 27:10 

Whither have ye made a road to day? 
David’s jeering neighbour said.
Are you doing as your manner is?
Which brought thee to me for bread?
Continue on, thine own disturb
Til utterly abhorred 
Therefore my servant you for aye will be
Yes, mine forever more.

So, David did and so will be
As this his manner was
He purposed south, where silenced mouths
Spoke not, nor rumour caused
A wholesome rout, of cleansing doubt
Til utterly consumed
Til with envy’s sneer, brought King Saul’s fear
To beg Samuel’s soul, exhumed.

Whither have ye made a road today?
The familiar woman said
Why by deceit, have you caused defeat
Which will tomorrow cost your head?
Why didst Thee, disquiet me,
Spoke Samual, most distressed
You’ve made God to thee, an enemy
And now David shall be blessed.

So, David did and so will be
As this his manner was
He purposed south, where with silent mouth
He spoke not of ill because 
In the rereward, in alliance forged
He retrieved his lost of kin
To which Achish vowed, there is no fault found
In this man, since I first met him

Whither have ye made a road to day? 
So, David did and so will be
Where the mercies sure of David
Will mark the way eternally.

Whither Have Ye Made A Road Today? (1 Sam 27:10)

(Neh 12:36, 2 Chr 23:18, 2 Chr 29:24)

Where are the instruments of David?
Ordained of God to sing his praise?
Where is the harp of weeping comfort?
The Psaltry bold for joyous days?
Where are the 24 appointed,

Where are the words of Gad and Nathan
the seer’s honesty to bring?
Where are the cymbals, brass and daring 
To glory bring when beaten sound?
Where are the porters, and the singers?

Which brought to life psalms of accent?

To sing of Joy, with joy rejoicing
With songs, with old as well as young!

Where Are The Instruments of David? (Neh 12:36, 2 Chr 23:18, 2 Chr 29:24)

The only time the God of all, 
of old, e’er mentioned faith
Was recorded when he spoke these words
“And he said, I will hide my face” (Deut 32:20)

From them, I will see what their end shall be
For they are froward race
A generation, (and) children in
Whom (there) is no faith”

Then furthermore, in a vision sore
To Habakkuk God saith
“Write the vision plain, let him
Who reads, run, (obtain)
For The just shall live by Faith”

How can it be, when we read what we see
In the Chapter to Hebrews of Faith?
How  did they achieve, what they did not receive 
To be judged by a Word no man saith?

It was counted to be, it was their soul’s honesty
It was trusting in hope yet unseen.
It was proving God’s way, in an uncertain day
By the Faith they had proved where they’d been

It was imputed to be, if we believe God to be
And it’s impossible to please God without.
But; when our faiths turned to sight
And we’re judged by what’s right
It’s our Faith, in our faith, leaves no doubt.

Faith In Our Faith (Deut 32:20, Hab 2:4)

Peace is in the proving of the stripes our hearts
have borne                  
Rest is in the leaving, of the things we have forsworn                                                   
Mercy keeps me daily, by grace alone pull through
Thank you Lord for keeping me, for letting me love
 you.

Thank You (For Letting Me Love You)

Dusty Looking Back

Settle Me, Father

Ye, have come unto Mount Sion (Heb 12:22)
City of the Living God,
The Heavenly Jerusalem descending
Innumerable angels, companies of
The firstborn church, as written in Heaven
And Jesus Christ, who mediates
This covenant made new in Sion
Where Lo, the Lamb, on Sion waits (Rev 14:1)
We have come unto Mount Sion
We have heard the calling, come!
We have heard the Angel’s chorus
Heard Christ’s words, to each, to come.
__________________________________
Ye, have come unto Mount Sion
To the general assembly of
The spirits of just men made perfect
By God, the Judge of all, by love.
See ye refuse not him that speaketh
There is no escape from Sion’s height.
Where one hundred forty, and four thousand
Sing as redeemed, fresh dressed in white.
We have come unto Mount Sion,
We have heard the calling, come!
We have heard the prophet’s warnings,
Before both Heavens and Earth were come.
