The Sinking Ship!
A Psalm
By the Watchman Dana G Smith

I see a battle upon the sea,
Tis a great battle for the ship, many cling to its railings!
Battle weary veterans, stubbornly pray to their God,
“Victory is ours tonight, let not this ship sink in its mire. Though the stains of sin be great, lift us up higher. Father, those that sin, forgive them all through it all.”

In this battle weary, the enemy approaches closer still.
Its venom of filth, spews forth from the dragons lips.
It is mine saith the false one who boasteth of evil!

In the rooms below deck, prayeth the children of God:
“Touch not the saints, those who trust in the living God. You can have this old ship saith they who pray.”

For this the children of God have spoken, “the ship is broken, giving way”

The venom hath pierced and weakened it more,
Heart of hearts, fast she sinks, taking with her all aboard.
But saith the Children of the MOST High:
“Save those that trust in your name O Lord. Let he not take them down to the depths below.”

Then a voice, echoes over eternities expanse, a thousand thunders speaking, in an instant, a moment, a flash:
“Wait, saith the Amen, the first and the last, save mine children, those who are washed in my blood, come up yonder, ere ye perish, these my little ones, so sweet. There you will worship at your saviors feet, gloriously saved, redeemed up yonder, from a sinking ship that is no longer.”

The end, The sinking ship
