Lord, I invite you to the ruins of my heart

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Lord, I invite you,

To the ruins of my heart,

There's plenty of failures,

Wherever you may start.

I invite you to this dungeon,

Where there is no light,

Oh Lord my lord,

Please flood it with life.

I have tried most humans,

I have tried and failed,

Oh my Lord on thy grace,

Thy servant doth wait.

I fear frail humans,

Be my vanguard, my Lord

Protect me, my Saviour,

Protect me, from the sword.

I am pushed to the wall,

There's no way I can hide,

In this hour of distress,

Let me know you are beside.
