Empty, bleeding

Before you Jesus
on the ground beneath you
covered by the dust
ashes of my sins

Empty, bleeding,
knowing I am unworthy
lost, wandering
outside of the circle

Needing your blessing
your presence, to touch you
to be healed completely
as only you can

Come to me Jesus
broken before you
Lord, lift me from the dust
walk with me now
