A Prayer for Glory

 God

Would you

Form me to be all that you

Wanted?

Before sin touched the life you created?

I know

You knit me in love

Sacred seclusion

I was hidden except for your light

Though I could not see 

You 

did.

It was enough to save my unformed heart

So why should I be afraid 

Of the dark?

Before I was able to cry

Sin was in my blood

And I’ve been dying ever since 

You breathed me to life.

I have been gasping for air 

Grasping

For more of you.

I didn’t know I was lost

Until You showed me.

Now I see

Some things.

I mourn with you 

the life you wanted 

To give 

me.

Our tears rain down and

fill the deep

Your Spirit hovers over

These salted waters

and me.

I’m changing.

Radiant degrees of glory.

My hands are raised and open

are they 

clean?

I pray with the body 

I am 

in silence.

You hear everything 

I cannot

Say.

I’m asking

To receive the washing 

Of Your blood

Your Spirit

For one day I will have no breath

And I shall really start living

Then.

Glory!
