I LOVE YOU, LORD

I love You, Lord

You are Holy

You Are Mighty,

You are my Savior.



You are Holy,

You hear my ev’ry prayer

You are my Savior.

You are My God.



You hear my ev’ry prayer,

My heart, You prod.

You are my God,

You listen to my heart’s cry.



My heart, You prod.

On my secrets, You spy.

You listen to my heart’s cry,

and your arms are around me.



On my secrets, You spy

Yet, safe with you, they be.

And Your arms are around me,

I feel your Love.



Safe, with You, I be.

You are Mighty,

I feel Your Love.

I love You, Lord.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have been suffering from writer's block lately, so I decided to experiment with some new forms of poetry.  This is the first Pantoum I wrote.

I really, really like the

I really, really like the testimony that this poem presents.  Its lines are energetic, and their brevity keeps the poem moving until it concludes.  The fourteenth and seventeenth lines do not work, at least for me; as they seem to reduce God to a spy, which is a pejorative term:  His knowledge of our lives is not obtained by "spying" upon them.


Other than that, I applaud the Faith that made this poem possible; and, coming ouf of the writer's block you mentioned, it is mighty impressive!!!
