but too often, I forget you...
You never turn away from me
though I ignore and snub you...
You offer me your arms' embrace
though I resist your reach...
You're at the end of every road
on which I run away...
You make your home within me
though I've locked and shut my door...
You listen to my every word
though silent I may be...
You come to mend my brokenness
when I would nurse my wounds...
You empty out your self for me,
so filled up with self-pity...
You never fail to pardon me
each time I fail your word...
You never give up loving me
though I give up on love...
Your mercy's deeper than my sins,
my grief lost in the shallows...
Your grace is always there for me
when from your grace I fall...
You are the Lord of all my life
and all within me gives you thanks...
Without you I have nothing, Lord,
and all I have is yours...
Amen.
