Joy of My Salvation

Write me a song, you said
A new one, with original inspiration.
I gave you a sonnet
That sang of my broken heart.

But I was unsatisfied.
I strove for remarkable
Yet I gave you uninspired half-truths.

So I wrote you a song
One never heard before
Yet one that had been sung for centuries.

It sang of my salvation;
Of joy unimaginable.

It sang of inspiration
From every corner of the earth.

It sang of Holy fire;
Of sacrifices and miracles.

It sang of death;
And of resurrection.

Remarkable, you said.
