Latinus Dismissus(A song of Simeon)

The Sunday School class I attend regularly just began looking at the book of Luke. One of the studies touched on Luke 2, which includes the account of Jesus' being presented at the temple shortly after his birth and the reaction of Simeon(verses 29-32). Simeon's words are at times have been part of the Lutheran liturgy in the form song called the NUNC DIMMITUS(Latin for dismissal). One of the discussions that came up during our study was that some folks miss singing the NUNC DIMITTUS in worship. A few days later, I was messing around with the words of Simeon and came up with the song posted below. We are planning to include in our IGNITE! worship service in December, since it will be falling during the week after Christmas. It may end up being included in the service on a regular basis if all goes well.
My original title for it was Latinus Dismissus, but I think A SONG OF SIMEON will be more fitting to use in a worship setting.

Latinus Dismissus(A SONG OF SIMEON)

Lord, precious Lord, let your humble servant
Lord, let your servant depart in peace
Lord, precious Lord, let your humble servant
Lord, let your servant go in peace

I have seen the truth today
Your promise fills my eyes
I have seen your saving grace
Your love rains from the skies

I have seen the way today
Your promise fills my heart
I have seen new life begin
Jesus is its start.

777 song based on Psalm 13

The idea for this song came from a high school student who requested a song based on Psalm 13...

777 song based on Psalm 13

7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year
The numbers, they look promising
But the day?
Seems not so clear

Trees falling down
Broken on the ground
Streetlights are out
My heart filled with doubt

7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year

Friends turned away
They have nothing left to say
Sadness in the air
My heart touched by despair

7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year
The numbers, they look promising
But the day?
Seems not so clear

Yet in the darkness, I will trust in You
Your never ending love for me is ever true
I will sing with the hope that my eyes can't see
I will sing to you, my Lord, for You've been good to me

7th day of the month of the 7th year
The numbers they look promising
But they day?
Seems not so clear

I will sing with the hope that my eyes can't see
I will sing with the hope that my eyes can't see

On the 7th day, of the 7th month of the 7th year
