Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Be My Friend

Lord, help me to understand
why faith must always be blind.
And it was by your command;
that Jesus died for Mankind.

Let me feel that I am loved
despite my doubts; set them free.
And expunge my heart of sin;
if there's any hope for me.

Cut loose the chains that shackle
egos to the pride of Man.
And alter reality;
as the faithful say, You can.

Be my friend on this planet;
I want to get to know You.
It's hard for me to accept
what the Bible says is true.

Enter my heart as a flame,
and fuel that fire with love.
Let me experience faith;
so my soul can rise above.
