Psalm 7
Bless you for all the world oh Lord!
Though there is trouble around me
and I can't seem to rest,
I will bless you in the wee hours!
Bless You for the sky at dusk
and the sun at dawn!
Glory, Glory, Morning Glory!
A woman groans in labor.
A child squeals with joy!
I will lift up my hands oh lord
in quiet exaltation!
For I know that you
keep your promises, God.
I abide in Thee and Thou in me.*
Mary said, "This wedding is without wine, Son."
Jesus states, "What does that have to do with Me?
She did not answer, only knew
what He would do.**
For she was One with You, Father,
giving her all to the unknown.
A mother to everyone, but not without
You oh Lord.
I praise you for this unhesitating love!
The feminine side of praise, will
fight battles like David,
only with love.
You are the love that oozes out of the pores of
a maple tree,
come forth Oh God!
You are the song that calls to the clouds
through a flock of swans
sing in me!
You are the warmth on my cheeks
stoke the fire,
the eruption of a volcano,
the seed star
floating in the wind!
You are the glint in the eye of a lover,
stealing her first kiss!
Oh lovable lover press your lips
on the fatherless!
Stroke tenderly
those in mourning.
We are living in unison,
though we delude ourselves in separateness.
Come, come Holy Spirit
Fill our hearts with gladness!
For Your love endures forever!***
*2 Samuel: 26. With the loyal you show yourself loyal; with the blameless you show yourself blameless; 27. with the pure you show yourself pure, and with the crooked you show yourself perverse. 28.You deliver a humble people, but your eyes are upon the haughty to bring them down. 29.Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord, the Lord lightens my darkness.
** John 2:3. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." 4.And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come." 5. His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." 6. Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7.Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. 8.He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward." So they took it. 9.When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom 10.and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now."
***1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.

I'm not so sure about the title either, though. More exhortation than battle anthem.
