Adonai

 Adonai

Psalm 110:1 
The LORD says to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool

In this particular text "LORD" is meant for God the Father while "my Lord" which is literally translated from the Hebrew word Adonai. I find comfort in David's hope in a personal relationship with His Savior which had not come yet from his perspective. It's no secret that I deal with depression. I do not run from or care about stigmas or labels that people may give. What I do care about is using my sufferings and shortcomings to point to my Lord, Adonai. Many times I am my own worst enemy in my mind. Many times I realize that it's not just the world where evil exists but deep within my sinful heart. I wrote this song below as a reflection on how I feel many times when I feel isolated and disconnected from my Lord. My prayer is that you might find hope in this as well.


Adonai 
Adonai 
My heart longs for You
My soul runs dry

Adonai
Adonai
To Your name I will run
In Your name I will hide, Adonai

(Verse 1)
In this world that's torn and broken
You rise the sun and bring the rain
When I'm lost and feeling shaken
You're where I will bring my pain
I will take Your yolk upon me
For you will give me rest

Adonai 
Adonai 
My heart longs for You
My soul runs dry

Adonai
Adonai
To Your name I will run
In Your name I will hide, Adonai

(Verse 2)
On the cross you were overtaken
Then You overtook the grave
You crushed the head of darkness
the promise that you gave
I will cast all my fears & anguish
On The One who came to save

(Bridge)
Won't you fill me with Your presence 
Remind me of your grace
I need a whisper of your glory
To overcome this place 

Adonai 
Adonai 
My heart longs for You
My soul runs dry

Adonai
Adonai
To Your name I will run
In Your name I will hide, Adonai
