God take away the urge to sin from me; <br />My body’s weary from devils’ assaults; <br />The devils come to tempt me frequently; <br />My weakened spirit leads me to more faults! <br /> <br />God, tell me how I can be pure of heart? <br />I succumb to temptations so often; <br />I fail to learn the devils’ wily part; <br />Forgive me Lord: May your anger soften! <br /> <br />World’s sinfulness has grown in leaps and bounds; <br />Just say the word and my soul shall be healed; <br />Protect us Lord from Satan’s frantic hounds; <br />Make pure my heart and let entrance be sealed! <br /> <br />The devils roam the world in search of souls; <br />The Holy Spirit thwarts their evil roles! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-19-2006 <br />Most lovingly dedicated to Poetess Sandra Fowler, <br />(On this special day when she found her poesy) <br />as a Thanksgiving to God, Almighty.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-god-seal-my-purified-soul/
