The Ballad of Victorious Sword

The youth of a man with gifted vision
And faith to test the test of time
Was prophesied of revival mission
Encased in Father's glorious shine


A gifted healer of modern things
With oil, anointed by King's delight
Efficiency, the fruit his hands to bring
Sharp as a two-edged sword with might


His blade, incisive faith, is quick
To cut through doubt and pierce through fear
His name, Victorious, thus to speak
Of Risen Lord and Savior near


Victorious Sword, o warrior true
God goes before and fights for you
Each step you take, His glory gleams
You bring forth rivers, you bring forth streams


"Sharp as a sword! Sharp as a sword!"
You stand your ground beside your Lord
"Sharp as a sword! Sharp as a sword!"
He fights for you, Victorious Sword

for my brother in the Lord, LB, a.k.a. "Victorious Sword".

I picture this two edged sword being wheld in my brain against the enemy of downcasting thoughts.
For if God is for us, who can be against us...So powerful and true.
A wonderful poem, rich in victory!!
