Oh the Party

Psalm 26
Of David

1 Vindicate me, O LORD,
for I have led a blameless life;
I have trusted in the LORD
without wavering.
2 Test me, O LORD, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind;

3 for your love is ever before me,
and I walk continually in your truth.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men,
nor do I consort with hypocrites;

5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers
and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6 I wash my hands in innocence,
and go about your altar, O LORD,

7 proclaiming aloud your praise
and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

8 I love the house where you live, O LORD,
the place where your glory dwells.

9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
my life with bloodthirsty men,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,
whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 But I lead a blameless life;
redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground;
in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.


I can feel something stirring in my bones. It’s potential energy, like the canon about to be fired. It's breathless waiting... It's what you have been yearning for about to be delivered... Its the ship breaking on the horizon, the sun wiping about the night with beautiful rays of sunshine.

There, then... that day... rights will be wronged... We will be vindicated. True judgment will fall... And those of us washed in the blood will be set free. Oh the party. Oh that day!

The symphony of the earth is tuning their instruments, the choir is warming up. Trees and beast and all forms of being will chant the victory call. I am ready for the party. I am ready for the dance. Oh how wondrous the mosh pit will be on that golden shore as David Crowder leads us in praising in the very shadow of Truth and Glory. WOW!!! I am ready for the party.

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
