It's the end of the semester. Tensions are high everywhere. Everyone is just done, done, done. I was given the opportunity to speak with an angry parent this morning. It managed to shoot my mood right down to the ground. Now, as I'm sitting at my desk, finish conduct paperwork (yes, conduct. One day before we close the building. Are the students out of their minds?) this song came on Pandora Radio (check it out, if you don't know what I'm talking about) and soothed my soul. I was instantly taken over by a calming patience. Praise God for small miracles.
Consider my affliction and please deliver me
Plead my cause and redeem me
Salvation is not for the wicked
For they don't seek your word
Great are your tender mercies Lord
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek your word
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, oh Lord
You give me understanding
According to your word
Great peace for those who seek your face
I long for salvation
My lips shall praise your name
I rejoice in the treasure of your keep
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek your word
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, oh Lord
For all my ways are before you
I let your hand become my help
My soul longs and adores you
Let my cry come before you oh Lord
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek your word
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, oh Lord
Oh, Revive me
Revive me
