Dear God

Dear God

Thank you

For letting your son carry the weight of my sins

For a love so deep

It broke the veil between heaven and skin

Selfless

Unimaginable

A grace I'll never earn

Yet you give it freely

No judgment, no turn

Thank you

For wanting to know me

Intimately

Not from a distance

But right here

Where the tears fall silently

I bow low

Your humble servant in this storm

Use me, God

Shape me, break me

Let your purpose be born

Let me shine

In a world grown cold

Be the warmth

Be the bold

Cover me, Lord

Wrap me in the arms of peace

I trust you with all I am

Let doubt and fear cease

You are my savior

My anchor, my flame

I lift up this prayer

In Jesus' name

And God

If it's your will

Heal this body I carry

Make me strong again

So I can love

So I can serve

So I can carry

For them

For you

For the light that breaks through

Amen
