A Warrior's Heart - Poem

Psalm 144:1-2 - "Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:  My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me."  (KJV)

 

A Warrior’s Heart

From the very start
In me was placed a warrior’s heart
My destiny God knew
So His art in me grew
A valiant warrior I am
Strategic warfare I understand
Gifted in the warrior’s craft
Persistence I do not lack
Struggle I knew
Because of you,
Oh lack
But I came back
With Holy Ghost glue
I became new
He held me together
Through turbulent weather
Though demonic winds blew
He shielded me from the dew
The sun and the rain
Strength I regained
When He became my shelter
Delivering me from helter skelter
To the world I go
For fight I know
And that I do very well
Nothing I sell
But His Truth I tell
So undeserving
With all my frailty and swerving
He keeps me on the straight and narrow
And aims my way like an arrow
My way is lit
The enemy is hit
This warrior’s heart inside of me
Is not sold at a fee
God’s Grace is free
Until Eternity,
Likewise, this gift inside of me
Is absolutely free.
