  My Champion 
  You are Lord in Heaven 
  Lord on this Earth. 
  Master and Maker, 
  King and Creator, 
  Father of all things, 
  And lover of my soul. 
    
  I have an enemy. 
  He knows how to hurt me. 
  He knows what I want to hear. 
  He knows how to twist my wants, 
  Make me think they’re needs. 
  Help me drown out his voice. 
    
  Lord, be my victory, 
  Be my champion. 
  Show me Your glory. 
  Make me part of your story. 
  I want to know You better. 
  Open my ears, flood my mind. 
  Teach my heart to hear 
  You and only You. 
    
  *** 
  This is the third inspirational Christian poetry collection. It’s preceded by Thin Black Road and followed by Just Like You. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of Two Musicians by Sarah Orne Jewett. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for January 16, 2011.She published her first important story in the Atlantic Monthly at age 19, and her reputation grew throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Her literary importance arises from her careful, if subdued, vignettes of country life that reflect a contemporary interest in local color rather than plot. Jewett possessed a keen descriptive gift that William Dean Howells called "an uncommon feeling for talk — I hear your people." (summary by Wikipedia)
