PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I pray, Lord:  long as I may be alive

that You guide my poems with the inspiration

You put in Psalm One Hundred Forty-five:

to praise You for Your gift of real Salvation,

and for the stellaring faith of Your Elect---

all those redeemed from sin and its damnation;

all those who are assured of this prospect---

to live with Jesus for eternity.

I know that no amount of poetry

written can have the least sufficiency

(and never will have) to fully express

the joy your Grace creates, this happiness:

by faith in Christ, assurance is received

and held in trust by all who have believed.
