Bible Stories: Esther (Part Iii) Poem by Dr John Celes

Mordecai prayed to God:
“O King of the universe,
O Lord of everything,
No one dare oppose you;
You knew my heart when
I didn’t bow to Haman;
I can’t honor a man
More than my GOD.”

“Our foes are bent on killing us;
Spare us, O LORD, your people;
Turn our sorrow into joy;
Neglect us not, our foes are strong;
You reclaimed us from Egypt;
O hear our cries for help;
Our enemies could ruin us;
We’re on the verge of death! ”
