Poem
VERSE ONE Heavenly father Grant me safe passage to Elysium For each time I think I have reached the end of the race I am back to the start Deliver me Oh Lord From blood sucking demons That derails one’s progress And grant me hope Grant me life And grant me success VERSE TWO Heavenly father hearken to my cries I have fallen into deep waters And I have seen many a man die Protect me Oh Lord From the wrath of my enemies And make me as strong as a rock Give me victory over my enemies As you have given Zion over her foes So that I may smash the heads of the Leviathans with massive blows Your covenant with my fathers is to defend and protect my seeds and I Make me immortal Oh Lord so that I can live and never die And as long as the sun endures and the universe exist And in war transform me to a warring monster or the king of beasts Send me manna Oh Lord from your heavenly abode And command your angels to meet me half way across the road Deliver me Oh Lord When my foes mock me with their lashing tongue And I become an object of derision Or insulted in their abusive song I am but a man And a mere mortal An infinitesimal being I am nothing But by your amazing grace I will be something I have seen many a great man fall from the skies like stars to zero I have seen many a useless slave become a king and a hero Oh Lord but if you bring science and wonders into the life of this unworthy servant I ll worship you Praise you Glorify you And serve you until all my hairs becomes gray And until my days on earth will expire And when this body becomes an empty shell Soon it will be swallowed by the mouth of the grave Where it will retire My voyage on earth will end And so will us all
