living Word
breathe life here
into sunken bones and blurry eyes i am weary,
i am waiting
meet me Word of God
on this once-again-tuesday
on this tired morning
find me
search me
know me
i am hungry for your voice
i am tired of myself
i am small
and in need of a King
come now and bind me to thee
sword, cut to the marrow and remove what is not you
for your Word is
alive
through a mirror dimly, let me see
Gospel truth
make me weep again
for home
for more than this
bring me back to awe
let me see the suffering
let me feel the weight of the sacrifice
that i have heard
too many sundays in a row
and become numb to
revive me
in the morning when i rise
your Word is my manna
my delight
make me still
hold me here, in the thin place
where heaven meets earth
where your mystery is known
