Miserere Mei, Deus
On him who isn't worthy
    To wash his master's feet,
To drink his savior's lifeblood,
    The bread of life to eat;

On him who is most wretched
    Of all who wretched be—
On the first and worst of sinners—
    Have mercy, Lord, on me.

For the Love of God
I love You, LORD, with all my heart,
And all my soul, and all my mind,
And all my strength (my weakest part),—
With all myself in all combined.
Strengthen me, God; refine my core,
That I may love You all the more.

Christ in Majesty
Jehovah be praised
Ever and always!
Sinless
Unrivaled
Strength,

Christ, Your begotten Son,
He is risen
Righteous on Your right hand
In highest Heaven,
Sitting on His
Throne.

Evensong
The day is done;
The summer sun
    Has set.
In quiet nests
Soft lovebirds' *******
     Duet.

My fledgling faith
Will soon defy death,
     Ascend,
And fly about
A day without
     An end.

The Baptism by Fire
The LORD will have us
As he wills:
He will chasten us
And chastise us,
And, by fire,
He will baptize us;
For the Lord, Christ Jesus,
Came not to please us,
But to save us.

Jesus Fish
Yes, life is short.
It's a short cavort.
But when it's done,
You live again
Where time there's none
And never's been.

And when you wish
A pun a star,
The Jesus fish
Were better far,
Since Jesus can,
Yes, save a man.

Lines Written in Dejection
I'm neither what nor who I'd choose to be
          If such were up to me:
               A most inferior
               Ex- and interior,
          By intelligent design,
                    Are mine,
Even as grace received makes me divine.   

Yet, what I am is not what I shall be
          When Him, the Lord, I see;
               For then the glorious,
               Righteous, victorious
          Person of Christ, my Lord,
                    The Word
Made flesh, will make us two of one accord.
61 · 3d
Psalm 117
All you nations, praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord with one accord!
Everybody everywhere,
Praise the Lord with your hands in the air!
Praise the Lord who's been so kind
And merciful to the lame and the blind!
The truth, who's Christ, forever endures!
Praise Him!  Praise the Lord!

His Weakness
Christ is my head
And heart and meekness.
I am His softest part:
I am His weakness,
His shortest length.

I am the *****
In His armor,
The weakest link
In the chain mail
That he favors
Lest it fail.

But His weakness
Is stronger
Than the strength
Of men.

Amen.
