closer

i can't understand you
or the words im supposed to live by
lost faith in institutions
lost grace towards the faithful
a deeper faith in you.

i dont want to miss this
you find me here to tell me I am yours.
you are love -
and love is what rescues us
Im dying to know you
even when I run away.

your blood is in my tears
teach me grace
teach me Jesus
falling at the feet of the world
reaching out to the unknown

you dont live in our misrepresentations -
our traditions, our opinions, our judgements
but in a world so different than we have created for ourselves.
reaching out and waiting...
"try me. test me. you decide."
