To Sing Your Praise - Contest

With brazen face 'fore You I stand To plead for Mercy from Your Hand I'm meritless and don't deserve The chance to sing Your Praise and serve In deeds so poor, in thoughts so vain My self-examinations pained How can I summon up such nerve? -- The chance to sing Your Praise and serve The flesh is weak; it's prone to err So with Your Help and Loving Care From Goodness' Path let me not swerve ~ The chance to sing Your Praise and serve December 26, 2019 IN PRAISE OF GOD Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues

So happy to see you entered my contest! Lovely content! Self-examination is good for the soul where many in the world seek to serve only themselves. Congratulations on second place, Gershon! Hugs...Kim
