sincere seeks honest response
left over in Beast's slaughter
faith takes flight

spared breath makes request
petition soul wrenched
from the poverty that births the poetry of prayers

sacred wings its way toward Promise
accompanied by Hope's army Kingdom comes soon
sovereign recognized

selfish war of attrition circles never won
though battles age incessantly
proving ground gathers only dust from bones

turn water to wine once more Lord
make known Wonderful in the presence of Thomas doubt
I AM signature Awesome

give us this day life's bread
fed forever blessed
cup runneth over spilled blood Precious

this miracle of You and us
pierced yet still in love keeps time heartbeat
in step marches on awkward

signed Your soldier...reconciled
