A Solemn Vow

The creator made me who I am

From his dust he made me man

He spoke all things into existence

His Kingdom full of translucent light

His hands were gifted with precious life

The mighty God of us all

Granted me victory through his blood

Through unstained eyes he saw peace

Through lepers claws he gave release

Hindered not by others pain

He sought to release them from their sin

His life he brought to man reborn

And Humbly did he lie in wait

For his life’s gruesome fate

Death did not stain his brow

His passion did not die in vain

His love became alive again

To bring me back into his fold

He purchased my life with his blood

A sacrifice so holy and pure

Refreshed my heart to endure

Pain has not mastered me

Nor death of family

My soul belongs to Only Him

Restoration and Sanctification he gave to me

And freedom from condemnation my heart can see

To my God I solemnly vow

To Him and only Him will I humbly bow.

This was written after my Father and daughter and Grandmother passed away, all within Nine months. I felt I needed to let the enemy know he couldn't sway me from My Lord.
