PSALM 90 THE LORD IS OUR DWELLING PLACE
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!”
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence. – Psalm 90:1-8

OUR INFINITE LORD AND MASTER by ILMA
O my Lord, my Master, you are our everlasting abode
You are the beginning and the end; the only eternal one
Before anything else came into being, you existed already
You even made man into your own likeness and image
And yet, our forefathers desired more than you gave them
Sin was born and destroyed your creation of a perfect man
You returned this man from the dust you made him from
Your wrath on sin made you sweep them away in a flood
O my eternal Father, we praise and glorify your infinite Being
Who is man that you even think of him after his unfaithfulness?
You give him all the chances to come to you and confess
But the aftermath of sin made him weak and powerless
You are able to shine your light in the most hidden sins
You continue to be steadfast in your love and grant us mercy.
