Bleed my faith in torrents
succour me this loss
lead me through the valley
nail me to it’s cross.
Temptation lies before me
wash away this sin
my chalice runneth over
abjure the dark within.
Accept my supplication
God's destiny adored
revere this subjugation
baptise me in my Lord

Good take on the prompt, there's something about the words you used that made me think. Spirituality? Nevertheless, it's a good piece of poetry! so keep up the good work =)

Aw, neat picture!
Ahem, anyways. Nice response to the prompt! I feel as though the line "souls destiny adored" could be changed though, it just doesn't seem to fit.
I love the language you use in this poem
