+ 9TH POEMS: At LXX Psalm 18

Who am I to even dare to worship You, God, Whose Name and Nature are Love?

Your infinite glory fills the Cosmos and the vast starfields around and above

this Earth You have made and chosen for the Christian people, Your own,

to be their City of holy and everlasting habitation,

wherein their souls enjoy the privilege and assurance of Salvation,

without the shadow of doubt or its slithering temptation;

the City wherein their souls shall exult in Your Exaltation,

for which they shall make an endless and fervent jubilation

with joy that only Your believing faithful have, or shall have, known.

Lord, I pray to remain always in their number and company:

those to whom You have revealed the Fellowship of the Mystery.

Lord, occupy me with them, Your redeemed multitude

although I am only fallible, fault-filled and crude:

save me, Lord, from my self-imposed flaws and foolery.

I offer this prayer to You, Lord, in this poetry.


Starward-Led
