Joanna Daniel Poet Acrostic

Forever In Your Eyes

Fashioned by Your hand,
			for You I stand,
Out of  Your nostrils You blew
			the living breath that made me new
Right well my soul knows,
			marvellous Your work shows
Even deep down in the sea,
			Your right hand will hold me
Verily this knowledge is high,
			to know that You are always nigh
Enemies take Your name in vain,
			it gives me such grievous pain
Risen up are they against You,
			but I hate them, it is true.

I am the apple of  Your eye,
			Your thoughts are precious towards I
Nowhere can I hide from You,
			You are before and behind me too

Yeah, the darkness cannot hide,
			for I am Your beloved child
O God, You know my heart,
			let all wicked ways depart
Unfathomable Your love for me,
			You made me wonderfully
Reins all possessed by You,
			my love professed for You

Eagerly this I will say,
			You know my every way
Your eyes saw me unformed,
			Your love has me reformed
Every part of my being
			has never left Your seeing
Secretly covered in my mother's womb,
			I am wholly Yours till I reach the tomb.

Beautiful Scars July 24, 2016 at 4:44 PM Jo, this is so beautiful because it can be romantic when it comes to the Lord. A lot of people don't understand how strong love is from God. He loves us more than anyone and I would love to gaze into his beautiful eyes, right? congrats on your placement :)-luloo John Hamilton July 27, 2016 at 10:20 AM I understand how you feel, however, in scripture there are four classes of love, eros romantic love is never used in regard to God, does not mean we do not feel a deep attachment to him, we do, just it is spiritual, not carnal. Hope that clarifies my view.

Skat A July 24, 2016 at 4:15 PM Jo, congratulations on your 'Forever in your eyes' win. Love Skat
