Ode to Milton

Paradise Lost Re-write

Mans failure to the Omnipotent King
Disguised temptation in a fruit caused death
Led to sorrow, distress and acute sting
Until the Savior Jesus came to test

Bring back to us the place of greatest heirs
The righteous ones who first proclaimed the Truth
And lead us with conviction such as theirs
That out of unrest all will know Your sooth

I ask you Spirit please to guide my way
And use me for your humble oracle
With conviction, honesty not sway
My work and prose be not political

Reveal my sin and cleanse my dirty heart
So I can teach and justify God’s ways
Bring me close so I will never part
Hallelujah all your peoples hearts ablaze
