In No Denial

9/24/14
Your servants say in Your love I’m awashed,
that You flood me with infinite love and grace,
Your burden’s light, and so I am not squashed,
though I cannot deny You’re in my face.

No way, God, are You only far away,
You want the all of me, not just a part,
and once invited in, You mean to stay,
I can’t deny to let You in my heart.

Awash with love, You too get in my hair,
thus, bold and brave, I cede You some control,
I can’t deny the sin I see is there
when I allow Your entry in my soul.

With courage, Lord, help me not be afraid,
someday I won’t deny I’m glad You stayed.
