I’m dust
Just a bit of broken humanity
Clothed in sin
An invisible speck
On this spinning globe
Of faces
Broken,
Hurting,
Ensnared in self
Who am I that
You should care?
I have nothing to offer
But words…
Beyond convenience
And expectation
And understanding
Embers of love
Impossible to wrestle
Into speech
Burning for release
Selfless, passionate,
Personal, FREE!
To flow through me…
But I am broken humanity
Misusing Love,
Perverting and abusing it
Oh, Lord!
How long until I see
And know and grasp
And feel
Your perfect Love
At work in me?
This bit of broken humanity
Learning to spill Your Love
Wide and deep and FREE?
