O Lord, hear my simple cry; set this weary captive free! For I’m condemned by my past, imprisoned by the dungeon of me. Break the restraints of attachment that are distressing my soul - Destroy the chains of my ignorance, which continue to undermine Your control. Forcefully storm the stony gates that shelter the stronghold of my heart. Let the destructive plague be swept away! I thirst for Your Presence, as the woodland hart. The shadow of Your magnificent wings, protect me from the terrors of the night. Shine Your Light into my spirit, thus allowing me… To firmly stand by faith and not by human sight. Lord, I offer this pledge to You - Yours, are my love and humble devotion, in exchange for your unerring counsel and my acceptance of Your Salvation. For now, a sentry of angels surround me, forming a holy prayer circle of peace. Embrace me with Your loving kindness, as I desire… Your permanent release. Author Notes: Loosely based on: Psalm 91, Hebrews 11:1, Luke 4:18, Psalm 102:20, John 8:12,31-36, Psalm 42:1-2 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/ By Joseph J.

Poem: A Psalm for the Prisoner
O Lord, hear my simple cry; set this weary captive free! For I’m condemned by my past, imprisoned by the dungeon of me.

The shadow of Your magnificent wings, protect me from the terrors of the night. Shine Your Light into my spirit, thus allowing me… To firmly stand by faith and not by human sight.
