Gabriella speaks to her soul and says as King David did:
"Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God."
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God."
My heart and soul yearn for God as I think a deer might pant for streams of water after a run for its life.
I must meet with the Lord of this great universe.
Like an artesian well my tears keep springing up,
They are the only sustenance I know.
Why do I listen to those who only have negative things to say,
Who have the audacity to ask me where my God is now?
Surely I have enough wits about me to remember
the days when I sang songs of joy
and even led others in worship.
Yes, I remember so I will say
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
a loose paraphrase of Psalm 42
Gabriella is totally digital but I hope you can see her heart and hear her soul.
