Lord Jesus,
Please cut me while I am exposed,
Please break me while I am broken.
Speak to me while I am listening,
And feed me while I am hungry.
Capture my heart while it is waiting,
Before it takes flight, in the evil of night.
Steadfast it will not stand,
Without power from your hand.
Bind my wounds while they yet bleed,
Set straight the bones which you have broken.
Heal me Lord, and help me stand,
Lest I die, desolately disfigured.
In you let me be sated, and not in this world;
Yet not to contentment, lest I lose sight:
Of how my nakedness you’ve clothed,
Though it cost you your life.
For forgetful am I, once I am full,
So leave me in hunger, if it is needed
To keep me humble, and in love with you.
For only in you, can I find my way.
Cast me not out from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me,
For I have seen the forsaken wastelands and the whitewashed tombs;
In fear and trembling, I would stand before you pleading, Lord let it not be so… let it not be so!
Proverbs 30:2-3
2 Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man. 3 Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

Hey, for once, I am going to ask for some direct feedback. Curious to know what you guys think of the writing itself. Sometimes I fancy myself a writer, sometimes I think I’m the world’s worst. I can hear the cadence in my head, but am not sure if it is clear enough to others. So, I would appreciate some honest feedback on this. Either way, I’ll keep right on ‘cause whether worded well or not, it’s my heart!
grrr... I guess no one is reading :(
