I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven
-Luke 7:47
Like sweat covering my body under the heat of the sun I feel my sin covering my heart.
Abba why do You love such an awful man?
You lay down Your life for me and I trample on the blood of the lamb. Your grace is the most difficult gift to accept. I could deal with Your judgment, we know what I've done and we know what I deserve. But to be given mercy by the king when we both know what's in my heart and I will stumble again and again, I don't know if I can handle it.
When the pieces seem to shatter
To gather off the floor
And all that seems to matter
Is that I don’t feel you anymore
No I don’t feel you anymore
Where are You Jesus? The curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom (Mark 15:38). If the veil was torn then why do You still seem so distant?
"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."
-Jesus
O God, I desire rest for my soul. Lord I am weary. Come near to me o God draw me close to You let me feel Your presences show me the veil was torn.
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that You’re still holding
The whole world in Your hands
I need a reason to sing
I know that You have good planned for me but can Your good overcome this wicked harvest I've sown? Can Your patience, grace, and love towards me last through the duration of this life? Abba I am still so young yet my account against You is great, when I breath my last will Your forgiveness extend far enough across the chasm to save me? I have my doubts. Every good and perfect gift You've given me in this life I've managed to corrupt it or squander it.
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?
How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me.
-Psalm 13
When I’m overcome by fear
And I hate everything I know
If this waiting lasts forever
I’m afraid I might let go
Are pain and anguish the only avenues through which I am most dependent on You? Is this the only way I am to spend this life? Meek, mourning, humble, and persecuted is this how I am to spend this life in order to feel You near me? How long o Lord can I live like this? How long can I wait?
Savior I beg You to wash me clean! Not just for this moment or today or this week or this month I want to be clean! I want to be whole I want to be made new. I'm tired of my fucking past. I'm tired of my fucking sin. SAVE ME PLEASE SHOW ME YOUR MERCY SHOW ME YOUR GRACE GIVE ME YOUR YOKE NEVER LET ME LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER. Give me a reason to sing, show me that You love me, let me feel Your unfailing faithfulness, I need to know that You're still holding the whole world in Your hands, I need to know that You see me.
