Expression

I need expression
For my fleeting feelings
Sometimes released
Often suppressed

Till depressive moods annoy
Then they are acknowledged
I need my freedom
I want my peace and security

So, I come before Your throne
As the psalmist of old did
Expressing my joy and sorrow
To You who understand them best

YMI note: Do you know that the book of Psalms is the book of human emotions? No matter what mood you may be in, you’ll find a psalm to give expression to that mood. If you are happy and want some words to express your joy, try Psalm 66 or Psalm 92. If you are grateful and want to express your thankfulness to God, use the words of Psalm 40. If you are troubled by fear and dread, read Psalm 56 or Psalm 91. If you are discouraged, read Psalm 42. (Extracted from Adventuring Through the Bible by Ray C. Stedman)
