i wear Your skin

i wear Your skin
when i was birthed
through the womb
of Salvation
once cursed
with thirst
and hunger
bread was stale
wine distasteful
(only Your Righteousness
fills
Your Words are a cornucopia
of Wisdom)
pierce my heart!
cast it away!
replace it with
a heart of flesh
comb this head
of uneven hair
You have numbered
use this mouth to smile
on the downtrodden
form words, beautiful words
words of Justice and of truth
souls have been cast down
so long inside prisons
of despair
cast aside
by aspersions
slay my thoughts
wicked thoughts
pluck the hypocrisy
take the beam from my eyes
replace my cracked ones
take them they are rubbish!
let me peer through Your Eyes
Let me not judge as man does
i desire Love,
not earthly love sewed
in dirt, fleeting, consumed
with self,
Be my Pulse
when they cut me open
i want You poured
out from me
as Living Waters
the echoes of my soul
ring, "Jesus! Jesus!’
i Glory in Thee
only in Thee
