When you think you know it all

Humility a creature unbecoming
Silence the movement of unbearable weight
These are my crosses

Love a becoming I'm not accustom
Sacrifice the words I know in head, not heart
These are my losses

Anger a custom I've adopted too well
Reaction the time grows shorter each & every time
These are my sins

If you knew me
Would you love me still?
If this demon-dragon showed itself,
Would You stick around?

Please teach me what is right.
I forgot it a long time ago.

Meek a phrase I am seeking
Thirst the taste of righteousness I've been given
These are my callings

Mercy a sought out name I long to know
Peacemaking the way of Christ, making the way of us
These are my joys

Insults a lack of knowing, unafraid
Obedience: waiting, following, the act of being
These are my gifts

Forgive this foolish pride
Assumptions of knowledge
Forgive acting before I am being
Running before I learned to stand

You know me
Yet You do not walk away
Your Spirit ever present
Simply my absence causing the drift

Please Lord help me,
Humility I seek
Slow to speak
Slow to anger
Respect
Deference
Love
Joy
Patience

I need You
For this shallow frame knows all
I need You
This soul knows not its own name

I am in desperate need of Your vastness, Your Holy wholly otherness is my salvation.
Adsorbing all I am into the expanse of You, undiluted
I will seek Your face and be changed by the touch of Your cloak
Thank You, meet me here in the weakness of me.
