Intimately known by him who sits on the universe's thrown
Protected and secure by him whose strength is sure
Guided by his gentle hand, he makes no forceful demand
Assured he is near, I'm am confident and have no fear
In him I abide, even in sin and shame I cannot hide
Marvelously made, his love for his creation will not fade
Thoughts of love never cease from the father above
Evil hides, from him in whom all holiness abides
Tenderly he'll mold and purify me as one purifies gold
Psalm 139

Masterfully crafted, Divinely inspired.
Only purified gold is an easy substance to work with; as a channel of the Master, we must be not just yielded but daily SURRENDERED; fit for the Mighty One of Israel's use.
Your words ring eloquently and masterfully true.
Yours-in-Christ,

I liked the spirituality that you portrayed in this piece. Keep writing, this is such a great hopeful poem. I liked the use of internal rhyme, for example, ‘known’ and ‘throne’, ‘secure’ and ‘sure’ and ‘hand’ and ‘demand’, I liked it a lot.
All the best

Even though i'm a very active Christian in the church I don't like God poetry that much. Theres not that much we can create that's not out of the bible. Like your last line... Purifying gold. Our of the bible. I've chanced a few of my poems but nothing came from them satisfying.
I don like that you write about God. Always stand for him and he'll never be ashamed of you. Love it. I can't say nothing much about the poem itself but I know that your getting better with your wording. I can recognize a future poet
GOD BLESS,
CARINO
