Bow, Daily

A spoken word to my Heavenly Father.

Psalm 62:5.

Ruth 2:10
Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”

Bowing, physically or metaphorically, stems from pulling in a weight of whatever we decide to hold close to our heart. A weight, that forces us downward as if we were never able to be upright to begin with. I bow before the Lord, without thought, or hesitation, for my heart and soul are filled with His goodness, and He is deserved of much more than my spiritual posture.

I bow before the Father
like a deserted man who has just found water
I bow before God in wonder
at His heart vault for me that Satan shan’t plunder

Thunder and lightning are under His steps
Wisdom and guidance are in His breath
I bow because I can only say yes

Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see what is understood
Taste and see the truth that was and is and shall forever be

Bow before God the almighty
to bow, is a righteous choice
We bow with our bodies and voice

Whatever I choose to put my trust in
is where the knee is bent
Whether in grace or in sin
It is not a matter of saying no
or a physical act for a loyalty show
I bow because I know

Who Jesus is and who sits on the throne

I bow for the stone was rolled away
I bow for the gift that is named Today
The flames of the enemy need not concern us
We bow to the one that stood in the furnace

When I have been led astray
I bow to the one that has paved the way
He grabbed my hand and led me along
I bow with words, actions, and song

There is no room for shame or fear to hide
We bow because we are His bride
though many storms have yet to come
We bow before the rays of the risen sun* (son)

I submit the desire to fully control
and bow to the one that made me whole
It does not matter how hard I try
I will not change my name being eternally scribed
My fate is sealed
I bow before the truth that has been revealed.
