Sunday School Verses

My heart wants to commit.
  Oh such despair!
   But who will repair!!
    I desperately cling on to hope
     Waiting until faith shows up.

 Church bells chimes from afar
  Scriptural rhymes 
   Long forgotten, but tucked in
    In the hidden crevices of my heart
     Comes to the fore.

 Scriptural verses
  Forcefully recited
   Sunday school valour 
    Has finally paid off
     Despair no more!
      Verses to the rescue!

 My heart races like a Knight
  In shining armour
   Victory over despair!
    Victory! Victory!! all the way.

 Triumph  on the inside
   Fear of demons banished
    As scriptures line up
     Like cannons in array
      Waiting to be fired.

 A wiry creepy smile
  Caresses my face
   The two edged sword
     In my hand and the 
      High praises bubbling
       To come forth!!!!
 
 Triumph so real
   Fear banished 
    Victory is mine!
     Victory at last!!
      Forever! and ever!!

This is powerful, Joseph! God's Word is a two edged sword and will indeed bring victory when we are embattled, if we use it. Blessings, Kim M
