Elyon, Elyon, my king, my lord
Deliver me from this sword
Why have you forsaken me
In your eyes, forsaken me
In your thoughts, in your heart,
In your wrath, forsaken me
In their hatred, dark and fierce,
They mock, scorn and abase
My hands and feet, they pierce
My bones, they wrench from place
You lay me in the dust
Desert me as death calls
Yet in you, will I trust
Into your hands, my spirit falls
— The Prince
Prophecy of the Heir
(Psalm 22:1-17, 31:5)
This poem (based on messianic psalms) is an excerpt from the literary apologetics novel, Prophecy of the Heir. The poem is written by the Prince (the pre-incarnate Christ), who gives it to the Shekinah (Holy Spirit), who then inspires the mortal Daeved (King David) to pen it.
