Crista Gorman Poet Haiku

Hold Fast My Heart

He baptized my heart with Holy water,
   Rivers pure and clean.
He has set my feet upon the rock,
 With a measure of faith in things unseen.

Like the hands of moses lifted high,
 I will call upon him, he will hear my cry.
If I should stumble, he will break the fall,
 his arms are stretched to reach us all.

I love you Jesus from my heart,
 because you loved me first.
You meet my every need,
 and quench my every thirst!

Hold fast my heart to the one
 who gave his life for me,
Rejoice because he has loosed the chains,
 and set this captive free!

They are so inspiring i just have to definitely make it my fav poem. Thanx alot for the Word Gidds. N.B sorry for this but i repeated it so i could rate it, like i were to rate a psalm of David.
