With Folded Hands

Rating: 5.0


(My prayer on Good Friday)

When I am pierced by the sting of life,
Oh Lord, I lift my tired eyes to Thee.
When I am bound by tightening ropes,
I pray to break them and make me free.

Here I stand kneeling before your cross
Unveil your bleeding face as I turn to you
It was for me you shed even the last drop of blood
It was for me your body turned a mass of torn tissue

As you forgave those who mercilessly tortured you,
Forgive me, when from the righteous path I stray
When I am left groping in the dark,
Lead me to virtue's bright and sunny way.

When worldly temptations surround me,
Let me not fall into Satan's deceitful snare.
If I give myself into sin's monstrous way,
Help me strengthen myself through prayer.

Lead me to a land where wisdom reigns
Transform me through love's mystic power
Oh Lord, make my heart, your living cathedral
And bathe me in your grace's incessant shower!

In the occasion of Good Friday this mavelous poem has been written by you as a prayer to Lord Jesus who forgave those who mercilessly tortured him. You wish him to lead you in righteous path and not to fall into Satan's deceitful snare. This prayer isn't only meant for you but it is also meant for all. A great work.10

It's a nice poem of solemn prayers which I believe God Almighty wiould be happy to respond to. 'Forgive me, when from the righteous path I stray When I am left groping in the dark, Lead me to virtue's bright and sunny way.' - Loved these beautiful lines the most.

Exceptionally well crafted Valsa, the rhythm, the tone and the emotional resonance all convey depth and skill. Not only the but your faith in a power comes crystal clear, you give yourself so completely and unselfishly to something higher, and its a beautiful to read. The teachings of Christ still resonate, to forgive those who hurt is the most higher human calling their is. Peace be unto you.10+
