God created the heavens
The LORD stretched them out
He created the earth and everything
In it.
He called us to act out
His great Righteousness
O how I love writing about
The wonders and glories of His Name
Praise Him!
Glorify His Gloriest Name.
The King of kings and
Lord of lords
Who can compare with Him?
He guards us and supports us
He is our God and
We are His People, only
If we obey His beautiful precepts.
My soul clings to your word
O God my God.
My soul melts away
Because of your Awesome Presence.
I weep a fountain of tears
When they spit in your Face, Jesus
[Even my friends do this].
They scorn you, when they have
No knowledge of doing so
Our adversary has done his
Work far too well
Strengthen thou me, from all the evil
Temptations in my life
I want to fight for you my lord.
Jesus, my friend, people hate you
'Cause they do not know you.
If I could grab off their blinders, and
Cast it upon the devil, I would
If I only knew how.
Than they could see your ev'rlasting,
Glorious, Wonderful, Beautiful Love.
For you are very beautiful
My God, my God.
No one is more lovelier
Than you Immanuel.
O how I thank you
My God, the God of me and you and the lil' critters
Forever and ever.
Amen.

Too Preachy
I completely agree with the comment above.
On another note, you’re praising your God a little too much. He’s not going to give you any extra cookies for this poem and the compliments in it.
The poem is well written but yet it’s poetic sediments and worth is ruined because you spend too much energy and words on the glorification of your Lord. Fewer “praising the Lord” lines would have been much better to read simply because it was annoying to see that every single line was a praise to your God.

I have to comment on this. You my friend are by far the most absurd person I have ever met. Thus, I am intrigued by your...writings. First of all, I have to ask, what was the line "[Even my friends do this]" for? Was that to break the fourth wall of poetry? Or simply a little shout out to the Man with the plan? Because, honestly, the poem sounds more like you trying to prove yourself better than everyone because you praise more. Your form is way off, first you start off as a stanza, then break into Hymn, then somehow go into free verse. Truthfully you should pick one and stick with it instead of jumping all over the place. Also, I do believe it's Emmanuel rather than "Immanuel"
