Poem -

Thou shalt live

Thou shalt live

By the grace of God 
I hang on this thread 
Off a cliff of despair 
It be said, thou shalt live 

As by these waters 
That flow deep and wide
Rapid is thy wake 
Quiet by those who died 

So these stars that come out 
Shine upon this blanket 
Protecting our souls 
Guided by stars lit 

All the voices sweet 
Children with hope dance
Men with death beat 
By the cut of the lance 

By the grace of God 
I hang on this thread 
Off a cliff of despair 
It be said, thou shalt live
