While trying to find some music for one of Isaac Watt's over 600 hymns!, I came across this little acrostic which he wrote when he was only 7 years old.
Pretty good theology for such a young person I reckon, although I guess some might say he had low self esteem...
"I" - I am a vile, polluted lump of earth
"S" - So I've continued ever since my birth
"A" - Although Jehovah, grace doth daily give me
"A" - As sure this monster, Satan, will deceive me
"C" - Come therefore, Lord, from Satan's claws relieve me.

"W" - Wash me in Thy blood, O Christ
"A" - And grace divine impart
"T" - Then search and try the corners of my heart
"T" - That I in all things may be fit to do
"S" - Service to Thee, and Thy praise too.
