HOLY UNMERCENARIES

 

Holy unmercenaries

Is an epithet applying to

Christian saints,

Who did not accept

Payment of any kind

For good deeds done

Which is I think the very least

One should expect from a saint

LOOK ON US WITH LOVE

 

Sung to the tune of the traditional German folk song “Kinderlied” 

 

Oh, my Lord way above

God in heaven, King of love

Please look down, from your throne

Look on us with love.

 

God of Gods, King of kings

God in heaven where angels sing

Oh, my Lord, Way above

Look on us with love

 

Oh, my Lord bless our lives

Christ the saviour guiding light

Please look down, from your throne

Bless us with your light

 

God of Gods, King of kings

God in heaven where angels sing

Oh, my Lord, Way above

Look on us with love

 

Oh, my Lord fill our hearts

Up in heaven where love starts

Please look down, from your throne

Please Lord fill our hearts.

 

God of Gods, King of kings

God in heaven where angels sing

Oh, my Lord, Way above

Look on us with love

 

Oh, my Lord way above

God in heaven, King of love

Please look down, from your throne

Look on us with love.

 

God of Gods, King of kings

God in heaven where angels sing

Oh, my Lord, Way above

Look on us with love

 

Oh, my Lord guide our hand

God the father King of man

Please look down, from your throne

Dear Lord guide our hand

 

God of Gods, King of kings

God in heaven where angels sing

Oh, my Lord, Way above

Look on us with love

 

Oh, my Lord way above

God in heaven, King of love

Please look down, from your throne

Look on us with love

 

God of Gods, king of kings

God in heaven where angels sing

Oh, my Lord, Way above

Look on us with love

IT’S THE END OF MY AUTUMN DAYS

 

It’s the end of my autumn days

When heavens siren sings

And amidst a russet dawn

I hear deaths silent wings

TOUCHED BY THE GODDESS

 

Touched by the goddess

Our hearts surrendered

As Venus worked her spell of love

And nothing could break the bond

That fitted us perfectly

Like a hand inside a glove

So strong were the bonds

That entwined our hearts

And held us prisoners of love

Only death could part us

And I am now haunted

By the call of the mourning Dove

WHEN YOU ARE DOWNCAST

 

When you are downcast

And at your darkest hour

Pray, for within it

There’s immeasurable power

ARE YOU WEARING A CRUCIFIX?

 

Are you wearing a crucifix?

Is it God’s grace you are appeasing?

Is it a symbol of your devotion?

Or is it just aesthetically pleasing

Are you a good Christian girl?

Or are you taunting and teasing

Well by that look in your eye

I think you’re up for a squeezing
