Known by God
nothing at all
hidden
an open book to
the Lord
revealed in
every action
every thought of
my soul
Wanting to be
worthy
though knowing
only his grace
able to bring me
to the Lord
to save me from
the grave
my place by my
own actions
even the
stirrings of my heart
condemning me,
damnation
my fate in his
hands
bringing me from
the pit
raising me up on
eagle’s wings
healing me from
within
An open book I
want to be
worthy of his
grace, open
but knowing only
his love
will save me
from myself
