Forsaken

by

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. 

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
