i come to You, Lord
here today, here this morning
present my requests to Your throne
i bring all that i am
all the yuck and the hard
for You made me and called me Your own
and You love every part
every cell, every thought
every single grey strand of my hair
every small little detail
that passes my life
You delight in each time that i share
and the problems i bring
are both silly and sad
but the simplest reason is this
i need You with each fiber
each drop of my blood
You're the reason for which i exist
here's my heart, please examine
its twists and its turns
all the ways it comes up to deceive
here's the parts that i know
have grown cold as cement
all the places where i don't believe
here's the bones
dry and powdered and starting to smell
that still lay in their silent, cold grave
and the cancer that eats
through my will and my mind
all the sin that my nature does crave
have it all, here it is
i know You're not surprised
each new morning when i come to talk
resurrect all the death
sate the thirst in my soul
in the garden as we have our walk
there is nothing i have
that Your hands have not given
i pause in this moment, remember
there is nothing i want
more than Your loving breath
of new life on my darkening ember
You're the vine, You're the source
You're the life and the treasure
the force that holds all things together
You're the strength of my being
foundation uncracked
and Your yoke is as light as a feather
i raise up my eyes
and i bow my knee here
and i praise the scarred hands that hold me
under Your strong protection
i dance and i sing
and i know what it's like to be free
So good!
Wow!! Just what I need today. I'll make a copy and keep it with my devotions. I will be worth praying a time or two a week!
