Peace

O the life of humility 

The freedom of obedience 

The joy within sorrow 

The love within pain

 

I praise you

Without you 

Nothing remains

 

The dead murky river of sin

Coursing swiftly and sharply

Jaggedly gnashing this frame

Repeatedly into the stone

 

The gentle hand, firm and steady 

Gripping hard, yanked me out

All I had to say was sorry 

And vomit the filth from inside my mouth

 

The less I am, the more you are

So take my life to yours

Within your wounds hide me please

Thank you Lord, I am not
