Poem: The Spiritual Battle

The Spiritual Battle

by Anna Pulickal

When the spiritual battle gets tiring
And I just wanna give up fighting
I feel His Sacred Heart inviting
Inviting me to go on.

I feel Him saying "You should be strong"
You shouldn't stop, you should go on.
You shouldn't stop till you reach the top
Yeah the top of Calvary
For only there will you be free,
Hanging with Me upon that tree;
that forlorn tree of Calvary!

With my self crucified, my earthly friends bidding goodbye;
It comes to me in a flash that all earthly treasures were mere trash
Heavens threshold beckons now
Now I fathom why and I fathom how
My loving father gave His all for me
In His heart the space couldn't be
Filled to fullness without me for eternity
O His grace; in it I drown, He gives to me a prince's crown!
All evil from me is now effaced, by His Love I'm amazed!
