Apocrypha: Psalm 8 (Refrain Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Totius)

Where with childish faith I do look upon You,
it is You keep me against Your breast true,
I realise when I look upon each dark thing and each desire,
that every human would in Your bright intense light expire,
where to You I do entrust my feeble thoughts and that which I pursue
and like this I come as a mere mortal to You without fear,
where you give me a new heart and do me from sin clear,
when at times I do fail in the things that I do,
it is You that keep me against Your breast true.

[Reference: "Psalm 130" by Totius.]
