Psalm 51

do You remember
when David asked You to give him a pure heart?
Yes, i need one, too.
do You have a spare one?
can You search me and fix me?
You are good and compassionate,
merciful and your love is unfailing.
You've seen who i really am and
You've seen what i've done.
look inside this broken heart,
it belongs to You.
it is contrite and repenting,
and it needs You.
clean it and make it white as snow,
and it will forever sing of your righteousness.
this broken heart belongs to You,
don't reject it.
take this broken and contrite heart
as an offering,
a sacrifice You will not refuse.

Inspired by psalm 51

i want to love You.

i want to love You
like I've never loved someone.
i want to love You so much
that the mere thought of You
makes my heart want to leap.
i want to love You in such a way
that talking to You brings me to tears.
i want to love You so much
that i can't imagine life without You
i want to love You in such a way
that i can't keep quiet about You.
i want to love You so much.

Worship

I lay my body on the altar
Allowing the blood to drain
From my hungering veins
And empty onto the cold floor
My life craves a strength
My flesh can not supply
It requires a force much more
If my soul is willing but my body is weak
Then I pray for the strength
To slay this body and free
The soul that is currently linked
To this fallen beast
This flesh is a slave to so many things
Chained by the fruit of that forbidden tree
Those chains
Forged and made
By the hands that would soon be wearing them
Separation, exiled
From the holy blood
That would make us whole
Yet the lamb came
To claim
Our place
On that bloodied stone
He was slain
To pay
The debt we owed
My body is on this altar
Not because of my righteousness
But because I have chosen to join
My king in his death
To empty my veins
To make way
For the strength
Of the lamb who was slain
On that beautiful day

You keep loving me.

it surprises me that You
still love me.
that you are undeterred
by my actions.
when i told You that i
lied and stole and cheated
You didn't even flinch.
You didn't cast a stone.
You didn't leave.
instead
You took me into your arms, held me close,
kissed my forehead, and whispered into my
ear that
You don't care about what i've done,
You just care about who i am.
i guess that's what makes you You.
There are 7 billion other people out there
and you still vie for my attention.
You keep loving me.

now you know.

i wish you knew
that you are precious and honored.
that you are lovable.
that your worth doesn't come from you.
nor does it come from
your successes
your failures
the heads you turn when you walk by
your weight
your beauty.
i wish you knew
you're so much more than that,
and so i tell you.

Aslan.

they call you the great Lion.
but in my world you have another name.
you're not safe, but you're good.
you're the King.
you come and go.
one day i see you, one day i don't.
you're not a tame lion.
at the sound of your roar,
sorrows will be no more.
when you bare your teeth,
winter meets its death.
when you shake your mane,
we shall have spring again.

three nails.

with just three nails
Your life ended
and mine began.
it took only three nails
to change my destiny,
my identity,
my future.
with three nails
You gave me life i don't deserve
because i fail you
and yet You love me.
those three nails signified
Your unending love
for me.
those three nails gave me
the freedom to struggle.
and i will never fully understand
what it meant for You to let
those three nails
pierce You.
i will never fully understand
how much it hurt,
how much it cost
You to let
those three nails pierce You.
and yet i know that
if You had to do it again
You would let
those three nails
pierce You.
