This one’s been tucked away for a couple years now. Inspiration just hit for some reason and I fixed a lot of errors in the meter (argh how I loathe structured poetry, haha). There is still a hiccup or two, but I thought I’d share it as is.
Flame
* * * * *
This flame that has so brightly burned
Through all the years this clock has turned,
It shall not wither, shall not die
For deep within our hearts it lies.
This flicker once so small and dim
Has brightly burned, for souls to win.
And though this race is long and hard,
We shall have triumph by His word.
This flame has burned from man to man,
And has been passed by each one’s hand.
This truth we know shall never cease
Reigns firm, and fights against the beast.
Oh Lord, may glory before man
Shine brightly claiming all You can
Proclaim in wonder for Your name,
And bring You honor and all fame;
For You alone, almighty One,
Can cause all Your good ways to come.
Indeed, You grow this burning flame,
Your truth will always reign the same.
Call out, and sanctify for You
Those who will Your glory pursue.
For truly, Christ and King You said
Your church will, built by You, and lead,
Prevail against all it could dread.
For she is lead by Christ, the Head.
Glory indeed belongs to Thee,
The great and blessed Trinity.
For though the weak, chosen by You,
Are poor, and suffering ensues,
You prove again, again to be
The ruler over earth and sea.
For by all Thy great sovereignty
Again You cause all earth to see
That You who good, will always be;
For by that good, You set us free.
