I come

Oh my lord!
my God!
My king!
and master.

I fail every day to serve you
to fall at your feet and beg
for this life that serves
so poorly
so weakly

my hope is your mercy
yet i deserve death

Purify me
Renew me
Engulf me
Restore me.

Draw me to your depths
to the depths that burn
and torture
from sheer innocence

show me my darkness

the coal black
with your pure light

touch my pride
with your perfection
reveal my imperfection
my jealousy
my hatred
my darkness

and when I see
send our Mother
comfort me

heal the wounds
that this glass
may become clear
