burn off the crap

Lord, this scripture is hard

calling to search us, even me

for You to find

any imperfections

I wish I were clean

but I know I am broken

I hate to think

what You must find

if I am truly honest

(but You know me already).

Burn off the crap,

the junk within me,

rip out the thorns

the tares in my garden;

I want to be good soil.

Shovel out the manure

the ripped fabric

prune the dead away;

make me for a purpose.
