Raw is my skin
From the repetitive
Friction, rubbing, beating
Heart
Raw is the emotion
From the constant
Ripping, aching, seeking
Soul
Love is blind
Forehead to floor,
A hidden treasure.

Fast forward five years
In the middle of chaos
Attachments
Responsibilities
The grass is greener
But the bridge is an illusion
But oh! How I wish
To stay awhile
Push the limits of these
Constraints
Bending, bending, bending
Until the point of
Break
I have never felt more whole
Than being bent in two!
How I love, love, love,
Touching
Seeing
Pretending
Forgetting
Exactly where that hazy line
Lies – certainly
Not between us

My God, thy people save
Crying to you in great distress
Not worthy of your holy grace
Please save us from our selfish hearts
And draw us to you
Teach me the way to lead
People masked in darkness
To the light of your good word

I wished to speak out about your words
Which are poured into my soul
Through the Holy Spirit
Here now I see that the corrupted heart
Cannot see truth from lie
That all that you have given may be taken for granted
And your words misused.

Please do not cast us
From under your powerful and just hand
Though we do not understand yet the strength
The wrath, which you yield
Use the Holy Spirit to convict and to change
And to guide those who are lost
Home to Father again.
