Analysis of Life and death I place before you...
Sin, why don't you forsake me
You shake my boat
I'm waking Jesus to calm the storm
For the old has passed
Behold, I bear fruits
I will walk in the fire like it's frozen ice.
And if I drown, I'll swim
In the fish's belly, I'll find refuge
Fury - the fiery furnace seven times
See the fourth man's hand reach out
Be it not and I am six feet deep
The cross I carry, the joy of saints
I will not be enslaved or serve
A living sacrifice, my spirit I commit

About this poem
Struggle with sin. Like addiction, it keeps knocking. Been praying and yet I can still hear it whisper. It calls, but I've moved on. And if it kills me, it's fine. The death of a saint is a celebration in heaven.
