I Stand In Prayer

I stand before you Lord,, I stop, I pause, I halt and lay bare my very soul stripped of my vanity and earthly pride I have been humbled, I have been saved, been blessed with a new song in my heart for those with ears to hear . . . I have faced the angel of death with no fear in my heart for you held my hand ready to take me home my lighthouse, my true north star. . . I promise, for the gift of life given to repose in peace and harmony I seek no other God, no glory, no reward . . . I cast out any devil and hate worshipers you have no strength pitiful, weak and suffering endlessly trapped my power is beyond your gnarled fingers my light is from within strong, bright and clear for all eternity . . . It is where beauty dwells not of face, hair or body but of soul the beauty resides within and like a beacon leads the way . . . I stand before you Lord, erect and true full of new promise and new life . . . Written September 12, 2012 For the contest, Stand Sponsored by Debbie Guzzi
