My full loyalty
and my undying devotion
belong to my Deity
who holds my emotions.
My Deity
is the Lord Jesus Christ
not someone I can't see
but Someone I can trust.
King of Kings
and Lord of Lords -
my Deity
is my all in all.
He rides the clouds
and harnesses the winds.
He stops the sun
and forgives all my sins.
My Deity is the only One
to lift me out of the darkest hole
and be victorious in
the battle for my soul.
My Deity
hung on a cross
and bore my transgressions
so I wouldn't be lost.
My Deity
is everywhere
and knows everything
even what I can't bare.
Pure Love is what
my Deity is;
pure Truth He holds
and freely gives.
The only Way
the only Truth
the only Life
the only God.
My Deity
controls the world
by setting free
lost dying souls.
There is no other
whose praises I sing.
I pledge to Him my heart
and full loyalty.
Author notes
Accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior and pledging my life to Him is the wisest thing I have done in my life.
I challenge all who read my poem to ask yourself this question - who or what is the controlling power over your life - your deity?

Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest.

Excellent points made.
I definetly have to be reminded that God is indeed in charge and when I get too presumptious and think I am in charge, I am reminded. This is indded a good poem and a good lesson to remember. -
Absolutely beautiful poem!!! Very inspirational and definitely a delight to read!!! Take care and God bless!!!

I decided some years ago that control over my life would be in the hands of God. I have never regretted it. Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest. Hugs, Patricia

WONDERFUL POEM
'This was such a heartwarming poem. I know how you feel. I can so relate to it. God's love is so amazing. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem which expresses your love and deep devotion to God.!!! Take care God Bless you!! -
Thank you so much for your critique. The caps are there because of the stylistic convention of honoring your God's name as you would honor anyone's first and last name. When the poem becomes metaphorical I continue the convention. I am struggling with the flow in this piece. I prsonally think it's too choppy and I want it smoother. It's not the run-ons (there aren't any in here) but I think it's the meter and near rhyming. I struggle so with rhymed verse. Thanks you so much and God bless you. - joanne

Very well written, you don't have to be of the christian faith to relate to this. The wording left it open a little, you just named your deity. You can apply this to almost anything. Great job.
-
amazing write! i'm a born and bred catholic, but faith has always been something that has eluded me. this ilustates unconditional faith very well. i see you value your faith a lot- keep it up, cuz it's missed when it's gone.
-
Being as fellow Christian i assure you this was a beautiful poem. We should all be able to show such convictions to our Lord. This is a piece to be inspired by. Take care and God bless.

Beautiful and heartfelt.
Again it is pleasant to click on this and find that the message so very clear. I needed this today and have talked with a young woman that just needed assurance that God was working in her life. She is also in search of a job and should do well, because she allows God to lead her. I appreciate a write such as this because it is affirmative. -
Truly an inspiring piece the eloquence of wis
Beautiful, inspiring the glow of truth becomes the music in the words... "There is no other
whose praises I sing.
I pledge to Him my heart
and full loyalty." Beautifully orchestrated
Wishing you and yours much success in all of your endeavors Brava! Many Blessings

Your commitment is wonderful... even if I'm not Christian. I'm more of a freak that is hated by the Christian society... but I liked your poem any way. You don't seem pretentious in any way... Great write.

This is absolutely a WONDERFUL poem here!! I adore it, truly. It shows Jesus, pure and true. There's no judgment to others who don't believe as you do... there's no cutting down of others... just pure love and devotion to Jesus. This is indeed a wonderfully loving and masterful piece here!!! Great penning!

I can sense a great commitment to the convictions with which you wrote this, very inspireing emotions. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try it is really difficult to mention all of God's attributes, He is so vast, but in this poem, you come really close. Nicely done! Thanks for entering the contest

Well worded and full of power and truth. Nobody would have any difficulty knowing what you believe and where you stand. He is our all in all. Perfect! ~vj

Nice write, it was great! I'm not a christian, but I like this piece. It's nice that you believe "he" is great, I have different views but your write is awesome. Nice job!
