CISTERN

[verseode]

               

            In my cistern, there I lay
            Living water drained away
            Open to the devils realm
            God no longer at my helm
            What a change in such a flash
            Covered in a nasty rash
            Could I ever hope to be
            Back to where I was with He.

            Learnt a lot in that short space
            As I sank into disgrace
            Like a drug it pleased my mind
            Showed the state of humankind
            Thankfully I overcame
            Called upon His holy name
            Now I'm back in His safe arms
            Oblivious to worldly charms.
