Save Me Like You Promised (Psalm 119, Taw)
Lyrics
Let my cry come before you, O Lord
Give me understanding
Let my prayer come before you, O God
Save me like you promised
I pour out my praise
As you teach me your law
I sing of the grace
And the truth in your word
Lord, help me to stand
As I follow your ways
I need your commands
And your word that sustains
Even when I wander
Still your voice is calling
I have not forgotten your commands

Story
Bruce Benedict at Cardiphonia Music sent a commission for an album covering the whole of Psalm 119. I picked the last of the 22 sections somewhat at random and was delighted when this song rapidly took shape as I meditated on the passage.
I did all the recording myself, with Hannah joining me on BVs and Sam Steemson on drums.
The Psalm 119 album came out in September 2019.
