Psalm 81 - Psalms of Steel

Lord you are the great and powerful one.
You keep your people in all things.
You have kept us in your precious name. 
It is in your name we have all the victory.
You have kept us in safety.
No weapon formed against us can prosper.

You keep us in joy, It is your joy that gives us strength.
You turn our weeping in joy and dancing.
You have kept us purity.  To the pure you show yourself pure.
To the blameless, holy and righteous.  You show us your ways.
You keep us separated from the world.
Your ways and will is what we want to do.

You have kept us in the palm of your hand.
Day by day you make us more like you.
Help us to conform to your image and ways.
Transform us be renewing of minds in your word.
Cleanse us from all our sinful ways and keep us.
May you plans, purposes and will be our desire daily.

Lord keep us in active service. 
May each day bring about change in us and the people we meet.
Do not let us forget you or we will sin against you.
Keep us in perfect unity with you and others.
Dwelling together in unity will change us and our world.
Your Holy Spirit is our help in staying right with others.

Lord help us to keep our eyes on you.
To look forward to your coming.
When you come you will reveal your glory.
Your character and essence shall be fully known.
Until that day comes, Lord keep me from evil.
Keep me from the evil that I create and others put on me.

Help each of us to understand the power you give.
May this power flow freely and unhindered,
May each truly understand what is at stake in life.
Life is not about accumulation of wealth, fame or status.
It is knowing, worshipping and serving God.
Being His ambassadors in this world for HIs glory.
