God gave us emotions, a heart that can feel.
David, the Psalmist wrote down and revealed
Emotions he felt, never hid them away.
He captured them well and we read them today.
He held nothing back as he spoke from his heart,
A man who loved God and it set him apart.
His words were so honest, He spoke to his God.
Expressing emotions he never thought odd.
God never designed us to hold back the tears,
Suppressing emotions, ignoring our fears.
Emotions are healthy, they help us to grow.
Yet often we’re taught that men don’t let them show.
Lord help me to play from my heart every string.
Help me share from inside what I feel as I sing.
