I have come to depend upon you
More often than I’ve dared to admit
More so in the darkness and silence
When no other cared to remember me
When I may have been least deserving
When I’m filled with doubt about myself
In times when I hadn’t thought of you
As waves of egocentric ran their deepest
Or my preference overpowered my heart
Submitting to a majority instead of truth
Because fear can still strangle my strength
Until I fall upon the foundation of faith
And lay in the nakedness of my humanity
Your blinding Light of Grace…clothes me
