Rescued From the Deep

In this life there's water everywhere it draws us under it's evil spell pulling us down to it's dark chamber having an power holding to it's cell This liquid stuff pours all over makes sure it enters our every space transfixing it's hold on every corner really need superhero on our case There is a creator who made the world but sin entered to mar this creation in this full tank of iniquity's cesspool the need is for a saviour on station The son of God came to save to rescue those caught down deep drawing them up from such waters taking them to where you don't weep Heaven is the home of God there everything's clean and pure redeemed sinners will all be there for God's promises are ever sure (' He reached down from heaven and rescued me. He drew me out of deep waters.' Psalm 18: 16 )

I like the premise of the poem and the rhymes are good, but I never understood the connection of water being sin/evil. Perhaps a stanza could be added between the 2nd and 3rd. Just one poet's opinion.

thanks Jesse, glad you liked it. the connection between water and sin/evil is a metaphor of the man's sinfulness stated in scripture in the depth of water alluding to depth of sin that God stoops down to rescue us in the gospel in the work of salvation in his son Jesus Christ. trust that may help. God bless, Gordon
