Ode to My Master, Jesus Christ
Oh Master of my destiny,
Oh Captian of my endless sea,
Never set me free.
Never set me free.
Oh Captian of my endless sea,
Oh Holder of my golden key,
Shackle me.
Shackle me.
Oh Holder of my golden key,
Oh Master of my destiny,
Bind to you my endless sea.
Never set me free.
Never set me free.

Post a CommentI was attracted to this poem title again (3 days after reading); the words are worth quoting in prayer. Shalom and Amen my Brother S. Mandel.
Blessings/Shalom, Shirley. You have unlocked the oft-quoted riddles in "the last shall be first" and "Becoming his slaves we become truly free." Cling to the Cross from loss and shame to Glory and Eternity. Thank you so much. Amen
