Your Pledge

© Musue N. Haddad

Let us not be,
At the verge,
Nor the edge,
You made a firm pledge.
Your Words, your words,
Your unshakable pledge;
We may sing one dirge,
Maybe another dirge,
But never to submerge.
You also said,
That we always emerge,
Always upsurge.
By your word, I say,
You are the swage,
Our powerful wedge
For us, for us, dredge!
Keep us from the edge;
Let us ride high your sledge,
Always, always ahead,
Straight to the head,
Where we belong, the head
Keep us far from backstage.
Let us walk majestically onstage,
And emerge gracefully on masthead.
With your hedge as armor,
You, always our anchor,
The one Sovereign,
Our Yahweh.
