Here are the winners for my Lyric Challenge:

First Place: Batak Beatrix, for her brilliant, inspired ficlet, “Reach Out and Touch Faith.”

Second Place: artistsrunwild, for her very well written and heartbreaking ficlet, “We Used to Play ‘Hide and Seek’ Together…”

Third Place: Crown Me Tarzan, King of Mars for his witty and intelligent ficlet “Spine of God.”

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who entered as well as all those who gave their ratings and comments to help me make this tough decision. You all did a great job! :-)
