Poetry

---

Incline Your ear and answer me,
For I am poor and needy Lord;
Because I know that you can see,
I have remained in one accord.

Preserve my life being godly,
Save Your servant who trusts in You;
I give You my soul and body;
You know my thoughts that I construe.

You are merciful and gracious,
For to you do I cry all day;
Your actions and words are precious,
And continually obey.

Gladden the soul of Your servant,
O Lord, do I lift up my soul;
Motivate me to be fervent,
You are at the helm in control.

For you are good and forgiving,
Abounding in a steadfast love;
That keeps faith and hope in living,
As I look up to You above.

Incline an ear unto my prayer,
Listen to my plea for Your grace;
Everything I have to share,
About the evils of this place.

The day of my trouble I call,
Looking for you to answer me;
For rescuing me from my fall,
While I pray on bended knee.

There is none like You of gods,
Nor are there any works like Yours;
Because all others are mere frauds,
That are using deceptive lures.

All of the nations You have made;
Shall come and worship before You;
Because Your Word shall never fade,
Always shall be remaining true.

For You are great did wondrous things,
Teach me Your way that I may walk;
Unite my heart Your goodness brings,
Proclaiming truth that I may talk.

Turn to me with mercy and grace,
Show me a sign of Your favor;
Deliver me from shame of this place,
For You are my Lord and Savior.
