Hear … for no one else has ears to hear …

"Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!” Ps 30:10 (ESV)

Hear me, O Lord, for I refused to hear.

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am unworthy.

Be my helper, O Lord, for I am helpless.

Hear me, O Lord, for no one else has ears to hear my need.

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for no one else has mercy to meet my need.

Be my helper, O Lord, for no one has help for my need.

O Lord, You alone heard my need in the voices that

betrayed You,

lied about You,

denied You,

condemned You,

mocked You

and cried out for remembrance of me in Your kingdom.

O Lord, You alone met my need as You suffered mercilessly at the hands of man and the wrath of God.

O Lord, You alone helped me in my need as the Father answered Your prayer that I be forgiven by making all that I am

Yours to deal with – for me,

Yours to answer – for me,

Yours to make right – for me,

and Yours to save – for me.

You hear O Lord, and now I hear the words of eternal life (Jn 6:68).

You are merciful O Lord, and now I am saved from my end in sin (Nh 9:31).

You help me O Lord, and now in the shadow of Your wing, I sing for joy (Ps. 63:7).

The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord accepts my prayer. Ps 6:9 (ESV)
