Habakkuk's Ode

Up and down
I roam this wicked cosmos
The order
I'm dedicated to follow
Scars on
My sinful skin
Lamb of God, I'm here.

A snob
I have been
A pompous lion among warriors
Struggled to come out
A new life
I'm committed to
To serve the King alone.

The edge of life
I have been
I stood at the cliff
Collecting all the wisdom I could
Good and bad
I have tasted
I'm an old refreshing wine.

My life
I have lived
As many different persons
None I found
Awesome of being His Own
A new creature
Forgiven and chosen.

Gay as a sweet daffodil
My past
I bring up as lessons
To the young
Ì pray they listen
The seasons
Of life I have mastered.

My beautiful God
Source
Of my all
Your call
I responded to on time
Now in my prime
Keep me still.
