My friends cast me out, <br />my loved ones despise me, <br />my heart is grieved in me. <br /> <br />Lord, <br />will you also cast me out? <br />Will you also despise me? <br />Will you also grieve my heart? <br /> <br />My soul is burdened and my heart broken, <br />l am a wretched sinner, <br />No one to speak on my behalf. <br />I am swallowed up in iniquity. <br /> <br />....cast me out and am doomed forever, <br />....despise me and am lost forever, <br />....forsake me and am bound forever. <br /> <br />Show me love and compassion, <br />have mercy and restore my days, <br />that my soul may rejoice again. <br />Plead my cause with the trinity, <br />and restore me back. <br />Let your glory engulf me, <br />Let me abide under your shadow, <br />Let me dwell in your presence. <br /> <br />Restore back your glory in me, <br />Renew your spirit within me, <br />Restore the joy of my salvation. <br /> <br />Exalt my horn like a unicorn, <br />Anoint my head with fresh oil, <br />Flourish me like the palm tree, <br />Plant in me a new heart. <br /> <br />Let my meditation be accepted. <br />Let my soul be glad in you. <br />Pour your spirit upon me. <br />Bring your glory down. <br />Let me rejoice in your presence. <br /> <br />The Glory Restored.<br /><br />Valentine Mbagu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-glory-restored/
