Oh Lord My God

Description

“Psalm 95:6-7 “”O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand…””

There is a clear patriarchal system in the Indian culture, where the woman’s husband is considered closest to God. The wife will call her husband “”Lord,”” as a form of deep respect for his position as patriarch and his closeness with the divine. To say “”Oh Lord my God”” to Christ, is a sign of sincere gratitude for her completed life, and all that it held for her.
