Watch and Pray
©6-11-08 Hannah Muonio
Circling lion all around
stalks me as its helpless prey
Paws to crush me press the ground
Knowing I can’t run away
As it paces in its scheming
Confident repeated stride
In my ears the fallen screaming
Those who feed the lion’s pride
Lion’s mouth is always open
Sweetly sounds its fiercest roar
Echoing with great momentum
From the ruin it left before
See the lion in its canter
seeking whom it may devour
Watchfully avoid its banter
Lest you snub God’s saving power
Persevering in each moment
Striving toward the heavenly gate
Lion flees but won’t relent
‘Til Christ returns to it abate
