sunrise

your sun slowly rises
over the plains of my life
every beam
crossing
and finding me

dark and not worthy
your light
convicts me
finds me full of fault

how could it be any other way

but you do not condemn
you slowly shine on
every speck of sin
every piece of shame
until I am forgiven

your wind of life
slowly moves over
the plains of my life
blowing
with might
and finding me

grey
and lacking life

how could it be any other way

but you
are
life giving breath
awaken the dead

your still rain
waters
the plains of my life
with holy presence
finding me
thirsty


and I grow
in devoted love
in steadfast righteousness
in adoration
of you

how could it be any other way
