a living person – v2

not a name in a book
a hope, a promise
Lord, may You be to me
a living person
to see Your words as testimony
from a human heart
a body of clay,
a life like mine
so different than the divine
your other nature
this stuff of clay
our bodies from the dust
to know you as a person
who would die one day
Lord, may You be to me
more fully human
so that I might make
the decisions You made.
