In Death I Speak

I've prayed unto myself in a vicious cycle, With no hope of answer, no touch, no word, Save the sound of my own voice...desolate!

I cried with my whole being to find my soul forsaken. It is my desperation...it is my end; today I fall, Wounded from hard fought battles, weakened by fear!

The place of my supplication; a watery grave, Drowning in my tears, my strength has failed. I wait for the enemy to feast on what I once was!

And with all my might, I prostrated myself before God, Now vulnerable and dead to self; the smallest light, The stillest voice, a whispering hope...a chance!

The army of fear, beckoned me to dare and with little remaining, I took a single step...I dared! The demons before my face, knelt. With renewed yet small strength, I took another step, they moved aside!

Warriors summoned, but not by my voice; stood with me, weapons in array. Revenues gathered from impossible sources and then I heard Him whisper. The enemies fell, one after another; clearing my path as I walked!

Once more, I approached my calling, still weak in body, But held up by stronger Hands than mine, I found power, As I walked forward in my death, He conquers through me!
