O my God, You who have created me out of clay… <br />You who have created me also out of flesh… <br />You who have given me the earth as my resting place… <br />You who have given me this life as a test… <br />O my God, for You I try my best… <br />Resist Satan, the eternal temptress… <br /> <br />For You I do all to have salvation… <br />To be close to You, to be in Heaven… <br />So Great are You, You who have given me eyes to see what is right and what is wrong… <br />You who have given me ears, to hear the right and not believe the wrong… <br />You who have given me speech, to speak the truth and not what’s false… <br />You who have given me fingers, to even feel my own pulse… <br /> <br />All this you have given us and we still fall away… <br />We misuse Your gifts, and get carried away… <br />We carry on fighting ourselves, and we do not cease… <br />O my God, have mercy upon us, and give us peace.<br /><br />Russel Choudhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-my-god-2/
