Killing my flesh.
Day by day. This shell I live in is temporary.
My bones are weak. My heart wicked.
And my eyes blind. Dear God, can you just take it away? I want to see only you. Worship only you. Live only for you. Fill my heart with your goodness. Take away the darkness that crawls inside. Take away my constant pride.
My fear of man and my state of rebellion.
Lord God you are holy. You are righteous. You put breath in my lungs and a beat in my heart. Who am I to ask for anything? You call me your child and you hold my every thought. You know the depths of my wicked ways and yet you call me by name: river.
Your spirit moves me. Rushing love. I'm sinking deep in your grace.
