In Jesus Name Amen

Indeed no toil, nor anguish, can tear me apart
Neither triumph or loss, on earth, shall spoil me so
Jesus is my rock, my shield, he guards my being
E ven sin is powerless, adversity nought, for lo 
Surrender I, heart and soul, and strive for good 
United in one body, blessed by his empty tomb
Sweet like a child, my spirit shall rejoice
No despair, nor failure, can turn me from christ
Ascribe praise, marvel at his goodness and truth
Make me your humble servant, to evangelise
Ever may I dwell in his house, grace willing
Almighty king, who's name casts out evil
Model me as a vessel, may Christs' life echo
Early shall I rise to greet thee through prayer
Nurture then my faith, to bear the fruits of joy

This is so very clever and reverent, Charlotte. It also contains the acrostic to one of my favourite hymns. Congratulations on your high placement.

A divine muse that surrenders one's ego and self to the feet of lord who controls all. Our prime purpose is to sing His praises. I enjoyed reading and letting go of self. Charlotte, congrats for top placement. Best. Mohan
