Emile Pinet Poet Kyrielle

Oh God Be Merciful

Immune to life's lows and extremes
Hope fuels my wishes and dreams;
and sets imprisoned feelings free.
Oh God, be merciful to me.

Accepting, God is in control,
Faith's the rock that anchors my soul,
and clears my eyes so I can see.
Oh God, be merciful to me.

Giving fallen brethren a lift,
charity is a selfless gift;
and all I give, I give for thee,
Oh God, be merciful to me.

Love is the greatest gift of all,
it can make one feel ten feet tall;
unlocking my heart, love's the key.
Oh God, be merciful to me.

These ethereal gifts, as such,
cannot be seen or even touched;
yet each is both priceless and free.
Oh God, be merciful to me.
