The obstacle, the barrier
the impediment to grace –
It is me, my sins
my selfishness, my will
keeping me from God,
from his voice, his message;
not centered on Christ
It is me, not our creator
being the wall, the divide
between us, the distance
Following my own path
He is the father, ready, always, for me
When I am ready,
when I return to him.
