Pslam of a Christian

My Lord is my reliance, sole
He claimed a body that a mother scorned
His termoil testifies me whole
His spirit has me not forlorn

Yet satan deigns to me instruct
My every path must he obstruct
With a ruthless tongue
He devices wrong
And counts upon my every fault
Every virtue to assult

And so I seek my death with zeal
My death like hidden goods I seek
A broken temple bears my sovereign's seal
Son of David mild and meek.
Jesus heal me who am weak.

Dear Hyunjin: Love this poem!!! Great job. In response 2 your question (if I was thinking about the Catholics in my poem (For All Eternity), the answer is no. I am only reminding people of what the Holy Bible says about such things. Have a wonderful day: Sheol
