Apocrypha: Psalm 22 Poem by Gert Strydom

It is as if all of spring does bring joy to You
while everywhere birds do day and night sing songs of praising,
the almond and cherry trees do carry their own wedding-gowns
every fruit tree stands with its blossoms ready
and over the scope of Your mercy I am speechless.
My Lord, You do give life and light and care to everything that does exist,
no person can fully understand Your selfless love
as Your benevolence is present in each thing,
while everywhere birds do day and night sing songs of praising.
