Day Four 2015

NaPoWriMo 2015
Day Four
I took the end line rhymes from Shakespeare's Sonnet XLI and created this:

GOD’S SON

And nothing of salvation's down to me
all of the praise God's son we give to thee

It doesn't really matter who commits

The sins the desperate sins of our heart

We all think youth and beauty well befits

And on this stage we all perform our art

We are players and some of us once won

By slight of hand and sometimes we assailed

The one who came to save us God’s own son

But thankfully no matter He prevailed

And through temptation He did not forbear

Oh we will reign with Him as in our youth

And like the thief we’re going to be there

In paradise and then we’ll know the truth

All of the praise God’s Son we give to thee

And nothing of salvation’s down to me

Paraphrase of a Psalm

ALWAYS BEEN MY HOPE

Trust in the Lord not in confusion

Deliver and save me you are my rock

Save me from the evil ones

Who seek to destroy me

Don’t forget me when my strength has gone

Don’t leave me when I’m old and grey

You are the King and the Lord

You have always been my hope

I will praise you forever

All day long I will talk about you

Save me from those that seek to destroy me

I will always have hope in you

I will praise you for saving your people

Even though it’s more than I can understand

I will use the harp to praise you

And the lyre to sing praise to you too

You are my King and my Lord

And I will always trust in you
