Courage to Shout
by Raymond A. Foss
Give me courage to shout
to sing your praises on high
Give me words to share
to the ends of the earth
Lead me to unknown places
where they know not your word
Lead me where I may not want to go
in service to you oh Lord
Teach me what to say
to bear my witness anew
Teach me how to show your love
to all the people I meet
Guide my steps Jesus
that I may follow you
Guide my steps my brother
for I know I have work to do

The Analysis:
At first I thought this poem was a man who wanted the right to speak out loud and send a message. The evocativ language that I got was shout, words to share, and Show your love. The figurative language was "The freedom of speech". The poem was structured to be a prayer to spread the word of god. The big idea was that you need to have the courage to speak up and stand up for what you believe in.
