I'd be glad to follow You
(Just make it an easy path)
I'll always declare my love for You
(If I can avoid the aftermath)
I'll happily walk across the lake
(If You'd kindly drain it first)
I'll fight every battle just for You
(If worse doesn't come to worst)
I'll certainly be martyred for You
(So long as You keep me alive)
I'll gather You many, many disciples
(Just start me off with four or five)
I'll make all my choices based on You
(Just keep me away from sin)
And I promise I'll always come back to You
(If I know I'll be forgiven)

Do you ever have one of those "F***" moments where you realize you've been trying to make deals with God?
Don't try. It doesn't work. Take it from a deals-with-dieties expert.
Just a disclaimer... This poem is what NOT to do. Apparantly some of my peers thought this was supposed ot be a good example. :/

I love this :)

Its kinda funny, how people are willing to make promises as long as there's a way to avoid the negative aspects of them...

Makes you think :0

Wow. owo This really makes you think, doesn't it? I'm not very religious as it is, but it still makes me think...don't do anything stupid and such.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

That's very true! Thank you. :)

CURE: Still wishing for one.
Still trying to be one.

This is very clever! I like the rhyme scheme, the metre, and this part especially:
"I'll happily walk across the lake
(If You'd kindly drain it first)"
