am i unfit for You
remember me, the one who turned from You
i come in rags tattered by the Fall
and all the earth, a witness to my crime
Mercy, weep over me
let Your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
for my eyes have seen Holy
hear my prayer at night
let the morning find me alive
for i am tired and weakened by the Fall
let all the eart bear witness to my cry
Mercy, weep over me
let Your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
for my eyes have seen Holy
let the Amen sound from Heaven as You lift my soul
Let the Amen sound from Heaven as You lift my soul
let the angels sound from Heaven, Holy is the Lord
Mercy, weep over me
let Your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
for my eyes have seen Holy
this is a song written by Bebo Norman called My Eyes Have Seen Holy. it consistently comes into my head these days. i long and make this my prayer. its hard to see yourself and know you are inherently unclean. to know that nothing you can do will ever clean you. i may be damaged... but i am learning that doesnt matter. his merciful tears can and will wash me clean. and he will lift my soul. i dont think i need to say anything else.

I love you sarah, and Yes HE can make you clean.
I keep waiting for the day when those who are broken and spent by this world can see themselves as the Lord sees them. My prayer for you, is much like my own prayers. To see what He sees. He doesn't see you as damaged or broken, but as His creation.
God's desire is for you. From the very beginning He chose you. He has pursued you. He longs to rescue you. He is wooing you. He continues to protect you. And He lavishes on you, beauty. Beauty, not in terms that this world can understand, but through His grace and His mercy. He looks on you with love and He sees who He created you to be. A creation taking form.
