EROSION
I don’t want the erosion of my prayers to be my story.
Distractions that take my focus from You.
I’m after something so much more than my fading appetites.
SomeOne that can make my desires submit.
You made me, You know me. I am Your child.
My thoughts betray the trust You have shown me.
I need Your strength to carry me beyond
where my legs are unwilling to go.
You went there. Your light makes bare the path.
I surrender my resolve for Yours.
Your legs are so much stronger than mine.
You lift me to heights I would never know.
The peace You give, even the crumbs, are worth more
than I could ever earn. I have nothing to bargain with.
My robes are rags, my glory is fading.
Worth less than a car driven off the lot.
Those stars, the work of Your fingers, even their dust
is of heavenly currency. I have not a penny to offer.
You make my sinking vessel sea worthy.
Nay, You set me to sail beyond the stars.
