Daring God

If I say, Lord, only two words to You,
my heart begins to fail because I dare
call out to You, Creator of the dew
of grace and love You nestle everywhere.
O God, when I send but a glance Your way,
I cringe for this soul laden with my sin,
it seems I'm only worse off more each day,
how dare I face You with the shape I'm in?
And yet I dare, for You, great God of might,
extend Your powers of grace and love to me,
You made me so we both could pierce the night
and fly to our shared light and destiny.
O God, when You created me You dared,
why can't I dare now even if I'm scared?
