Save Me

As the fiery sky sends night plummeting head first
I gaze in awe at the events of my life like
It all seems like a bad film.
And my eyes are glazed over when all I ever wanted was you.
Break me Lord, and take apart my chest, spread my ribcage
Replace this heart of mine.
I lay upon this grassy hill as the stars above shine brightly
For the doctor has arrived and is ready to operate.
The spreading of the skin, the breaking of myself-
Dusting off the charcoal hands as black fragments fall
The pixie dust - the magic to life spills
And sparkles as it hits the ground
Who knew it was a diamond in the ruff?
As I hold up my hands I show you my misplaced worth
You smile as you take the hardened heart that is breaking at every touch
You give me anew
Breathing into my soul, you fuel my desire.
I gasp for air
Breathing in for the first time -
I realize the true desires of my heart.
Nobody can comprehend the gift of Jesus
What fuels you?
My everyday- my every breath I give to you.
Help me grow deep into your heart.
So that I can live out your will within me.
