Monday Prayer
Jesus,
You own
Your world
You made
It
Only You can
Save
It
And us
From ourselves
So please
Won’t You
Come dwell
Within us,
Me
So I may see
You,
Father,
Holy Spirit
As You really are
Come to know you
Better
Watch you as you
Scatter
Yourself and gifts
To us
I need you
Come walk
Around inside
my life
to end the
strife
between us
So it is not I
But you that
Lives in me
Thank you for
Showing me
Your way
So straight
As You fling
Open Heaven’s
Gates.
Praise You
Lord Jesus
Forgive me.
In your name
Amen
Buildings
Buildings
Scraping the sky
Tall
Virtually canyon
Walls
Of concrete, steel
Glass, stone
I look up to feel
Microscopic beside
Them
Cold, impersonal
Hard
Where is the soul
Not within a shard
Of them
We have lost our
Way
Giving sway
To concrete
Looking into the sky
I cannot help but
Realize
This world, culture
Has denied
The one who made
Us
Loves us, cares for
Us
A holy, magnificent
God
So we would not
be lost
Daily, over our heads
He pleads, begs
Pursues
Me, I, you & you
& you
But our hearts
Lay hardened
Rebuffing,
Rejecting
The One who
Loves the most
Father, Son &
Holy Ghost
Our souls lay hard, buried
Within, beneath the concrete
