Lord Jesus Christ, While I am living.
O Lord, I humbly come to Thee.
To You, my all, my heart I'm giving
O Lord I beg You, answer me.
Please show Your servant You are there.
And answer this souls heartfelt prayer.
Lord, from Your flock let me not be taken.
keep me safely in Your wings.
In You Lord I will not be forsaken
and for that Lord, Your servant sings
You've given me all that I own.
and all Your mercies You have shown.
Lord, You keep me as I slumber
You hold me through the endless night
all of Your blessings I can't number
You keep me in Your saving Light
Untill at last my lips grow cold
and then You bring me to Your Fold.
O Father Heaven and Earth you created
O Spirit, Who keeps my faith alive
O Son, Who death and sin abated
To be like you I wholly strive
O Trinity most blessed and True
I humbly give my prayer to You.

So spiritual and beautiful
This was my favorite of all I read. I know spiritual poetry doesn't always fit in contests and this one is judged by someone not fond of the genre. But it is just breathtaking.

Wow I must need more coffee, lol I just stared at this poem for a whole 15 minutes and had no clue what to write on this. I was like whoa! And I went to take another drink of coffee and it was empty..(its my secret power to everything) So I lost some energy and sat here til my mind returned from lala land to reality and now I know what to write but I just had to tell you that just cuz i got more coffee
Anyways to the poem
Whoa...This is amazing!
This is probably my favorite out of the whole nine
This piece is fantastic and my wrist hurts from earlier from playing guitar hero II earlier and that just came out of nowhere.
Anyways keep it up with these terrific poems!
My favorite part of "Psalm of Trinity": (BTW great title)
"Lord, from Your flock let me not be taken.
keep me safely in Your wings.
In You Lord I will not be forsaken
and for that Lord, Your servant sings
You've given me all that I own.
and all Your mercies You have shown."
and
"O Father, Who through all things thrive
O Spirit, Who my faith restores
O Son, once dead but now alive
I confess I am wholly Yours
O Trinity most blessed and True
I humbly give my prayer to You."
Very beautiful my friend, very beautiful
God bless
and take care

Beautiful!
This was a soul stirring prayer
that expresses true devotion and
affection for the savior.
The Lord is great and greatly to
be praised. We sing His praises
with jubilation for all His goodness.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

hmm. this is most certainly a beautiful prayer. but it confuses me. at the beginning, you ask that He reveal Himself to you, but you then go on to profess of a revelation, but it is clear that you knew of this revelation before you asked for one...if you understand what i mean. your rhyme was very pretty, and it flowed pretty well for the most part. oh, one thing, if you're going to capitalize "you" when referring to God, keep it consistent. there were one or two intances when you failed to do that. thanks for dealing with my ccritique! i liked it, i really did, but i just see so much room to make it even better!

thanks for pointing out the 'You' Thing. in regards to yous confusion with the first verse. The first verse is more of a request for strength "Please show Your servant You are there." is more of a " remind me" then a "reveal to me" its actualy more of a prelude to the prayer. saying " Lord hear me and remind me that your always with me" the second verse is a prayer for protection and thanks for the protection already given. the third verse is a continuation (sp?) of thanks. and the last verse is the closing. I hope this helps you understand the poem more. please re-read it with this in mind.
Thanks for your Comment

BEUTIFUL
That is a very well written poem. It just flows from line to line like a current under the ocean. As I read this poem it was almost like I was praying in my room.
I look forward to reading more of your work.
