Poetry

Almighty God, my Redeemer, my Deliverer,
my Strong Fortress in the storm.
to You, my eyes will look.
to You, my feet will run.
for You, my heart will beat.
because of You, my lungs will breathe.
Almighty God, my Loving Father,
may I know more of Your guiding hand:
a Hand of care, and a Hand of correction;
may Your merciful hand be outstretched.
my time is minimal. don't let it be wasted;
relaxed. oblivious.
keep me on guard, swift to rebuke the wicked ways of the evil one,
and to flee from his invitation to temptation.
i wish to see Your Family extended,
and to welcome new brothers and sisters home.
O' LORD, may their eyes be awakened,
and may they break down in the desert land, on repentant knees;
and with a heart, broken and contrite,
may they run into Your open arms.
