Brilliant! That has excellent Latin credentials; both classical and
Biblical. If you don't have it tattooed, I'll use it myself.
Hear me, O lord; the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
Exaudi me, Domine.
All the prophets of Israel. I've been amongst them, Lord; and tried to
love them. But they are ****fty devils. They do everything underhand; shy
and sly ways. And I like it all up front; in the open air of Thy world.
I wear my heart on my sleeve, and they kick it.
I call the righteous to witness my faith, and the low-life laugh at me.
Lord, you see every nook and cranny of my soul; you know my yearning for
a world where good triumphs over evil.
Exaudi me, Domine. Bring me into the light.
Ed
