Paraphrasing!

I thought I might try to put Psalm 63 into my own words, make it a bit more personal. And I wanted to be a little silly =P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh God, You are my God;
I'll get up early before school to seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Called Southern California.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
I will sing my heart out to You.
Thus I will bless You while I still have breath in my lungs;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with fried chicken,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

When I remember You while I'm lying awake in bed,
I try to meditate on You and talk to You, though I always fall asleep.
Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
My soul follows close behind You, like a daughter following her Dad;
Your right hand upholds me, like a kind, strong Father.

But those who seek to destroy this light in me,
Shall go to h-e-double hockey stick.
They shall fall by the shot gun;
They shall be a portion for coyotes.

But the king shall rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall have a sock stuffed in.

Made it up as I went =P If only King David could see me now...
