Poetry
I have taken shelter in You,
Because of You being my Lord;
You are the only God I knew,
That can be beloved and adored.
You are the Lord my only source,
Only source of my well-being;
Assisting me to stay the course,
Because of You are foreseeing.
To the saints that are on the earth,
Those that I admired so much;
You are knowing of their true worth,
And are giving your gentle touch.
As their troubles do multiply,
They desire of other gods;
The blood offerings I deny,
Since it is for idols of frauds.
Nor to their gods will I make vows,
I honor them not with my tongue;
Because my belief disallows,
Something contrary that is flung.
You have given stability,
You have made my future secure;
Blessing me with prosperity,
As my faith helps keeping me pure.
It is like having fertile fields,
Such a beautiful tract of land;
A bountiful harvest that yields,
A godly heritage demands.
I praise the Lord who guides me,
Overnight I reflect and learn;
Wisdom with the insight to see,
And salvation I did not earn.
I constantly trust in the Lord,
Because He is at my right hand;
And I remain in one accord,
Honoring every command.
I will not be upended,
My heart continues to rejoice;
And I will not be offended,
By protesters with a loud voice.
You will not leave my soul in hell,
My life is safe and rest in hope;
For You lead me where I should dwell,
In this path of life, I must cope.
