The Invocation

On these days I thought I was so tired
I wanted to lay my burden down
I looked up and knew more would be required
but seeking sheep that would be found

To follow you upon your path
my master who purchased me
I know not how but seeking lasts
who promised God that I would see

To learn to Love was the promise
the hordes of people lost and famished
and avenue we would surmise
that they be no longer vanquished

May I never stop to listen
I am very very small
or your voice skip to missing
almost too little to hear your call

In your law I take delight
to my children I lay it down
my light shines within the night
till we all should see the dawn

You have required only one thing
each and every man and woman family
and in duty bring it into being
that we all have only one asendency

All I possess has been given you
no friend of mine will be the lier
and my life sacrificed to truth
may all lies burn upon your pyre

You've made my life a torture stake
I have this arguement with you
I understand my life you will remake
though I know the end is true

I know my end to be the ground
partake the table of his wife
and the Love that I have found
and the battle for my life

As a gift you gave my life
and oath I'm bound to honor
to the one who's seeking wife
to whom my life will prove fonder

My argument is stronger still
What see you that I do naught
as response seems so very nil
or response that little sought

I have not eyes to see the heavens
and my understanding is very small
I submit to earthly givens
and my hope is in your call.
