The Prayer of The Little Prince

The Little Prince
Prayed to the Lord for help

My rose wounds me
Those thorns of hers pierce me through
Too long have they grown
Too long have I left them unkempt
Pruning hurts her
and I have no wish to wound her
but now I am pierced
Leave her I will not

Just do me a favour
Draw these thorns out
And heal me for now
The thorns will grow again
But just heal me for now

The Lord heard
And listened
The thorns He pulled out
The pain He removed
Even as the green shoots budded out menacingly

He did not stop there
But offered His Word

My people wounded me
Those thorns and nails of hers pierced me through
Too long have they sinned
Too long have they been in distress
Death hurts her
and I have no wish to see her without life
So now I have to be pierced
because leave her I will not
Die in her stead I will

Just do me a favour
Love your rose
And prune out her thorns
I will heal you

I will heal her
Those thorns will grow again
but come to me
I will prune and heal you both

Dying is painful

but resurrection is always preceded by death
Come to me

And I will bring you Life
