One Thing I Ask For

The day’s reading was from Psalm 27 and it inspired the following poem “One Thing I asked For”.  The hidden message is highlighted for your convenience. Remember all my poems have a message in the left spine which is not always the title of the poem. This is an inspired work which was brought on through my reading of the Psalm and took 30 minutes. This is a little longer than usual but the poem is 30 lines long so that is expected plus my typing skills are not yet improved.

 

One Thing I Ask For

The Lord is my light and my Salvation

He is the strength of my life, my protection

Enemies come, my foe and the wicked, my flesh to eat

Lord they stumbled and fell at thine feet

One thing have I desired that will I seek after

Residing in The Lords house and therein enquire

Demons today may encamp me, and wars rise against me

I shall not fear, I’ll trust Him confidently

Should troubles persists I will bow to my knees

My head He will lift up above my enemies

Yes, then I shall sing aloud my praise

Let the world know there is glory these days

I cry with my voice and He has mercy

God I shall always say unto Thee

Hide not Thy face far from me but draw Thee nigh

Thou has been my help, forsake me never and I

Always will serve you and walk your way

Never questioning but asking your help in pray

Dear Lord, I am humbled by your undying love

My body is yours as your conduit from above

Yours to reach those who in desperation stray

Searching for enlightenment along the wrong way

And with your strength I too shall be strong

Lord with your help I’ll make right the wrong

Victory I’ll share and spread around me

And barricade myself from the threatening enemy

Then with the glory of your comforting hand

I’ll spread the victory throughout the land

One thing I ask for and for this I shall seek

Nothing else but the glory you promised the meek
