Hey all! I'm new here! I have written this poem, not only for a man going into war, but for daily life, and our struggle to stay on track with God. It is called...
Stand By Me, O Lord
Dear Lord,
I come to you, a humble warrior,
My bow is at my side, my knee to the ground
My head is bowed to you, Lord.
Today I take arms not only for my nation, Lord,
But for the freedom to pray to you and honor your ways.
Without You, I am all alone, even amongst a crowd,
And my weapon is only an insignificant piece of bark.
I am robbed of my will to fight.
But if you stand by me, Lord,
My bow is raised, my arrow is set, and I will push myself beyond my earthly limits for you, Lord!
And when the smoke lifts from the ground I will shout “Halleluiah!â€Â
I will raise my fist into the air, and shout your name!
So Lord, I am ready to fight, I am ready to push myself beyond my limits for you!
I will stand for you Lord, if you stand by me!
