In 1984, I was reading Psalms while riding the bus to work. So-called retarded children with various levels of ability were on the city bus each day. They were a loud and noisy and friendly group and we had conversations ranging from music to wrestling. One of them was reading over my shoulder and said "that could be a rap song." I thought about it and said, "nah, not this one." They obviously wanted me to sing rap. So, we made up one. I took my prayer book and rapped "Come Holy Ghost". They liked it.
A few days later, I sang parts of this song to them. They liked it and told me I should be a singer. Anyway, I was inspired in 2 ways writing the music for this song. A minister showed me the scripture in 1981 and revealed that I was a person such as this. I agreed. Now that the music is prepared, I share it with you. Enjoy! marie michael gabriel raphael

In You O Lord do I put my trust
Deliver me in Your righteousness
Be my strong habitation
where I may continually rest in You
You are my hope O Lord GOD
You are my trust from my Youth
You have given commands to save me for You are my rock and my fortress
You are my hope O Lord GOD
You held me up from the womb
You are God that took me out of my mother's body
my praise shall be of You
[Psalm 56:13]
GOD has delivered my Soul from death
Will not You deliver my feet from falling
that I may walk before GOD in the light
of the living
Won't You deliver my feet
I am as a wonder unto many
but You are my strong refuge
let my mouth be filled with Your praise
and with Your honor
all the day
I will hope continually
I will yet praise You more and more
My mouth shall show forth Your righteousness
and Your salvation
all the day
I'll go in the strength of the Lord GOD
hereto have I declared Your wondrous works
I will mention Your righteousness and Your power to everyone to come
all the day
[Psalm 56:13]
GOD has delivered my Soul from death
Will not You deliver my feet from falling
that I may walk before GOD in the land
of the living
GOD deliver my feet
[Matthew 25]
The wise virgins were prepared
So they could see love
love ~~~~ [pause]
Your righteousness is also very high
who has done great things O God like to You
You shall increase my greatness and comfort me on every side
I will also praise You with the psaltery
Your truth I will sing with the harp
My lips shall greatly joy when I sing to You and my soul which You have redeemed
my tongue shall also talk of Your righteousness
all the day
