Wide Open Wonderment

BY RACHEL DUBE

Take my words away

All my trying to sound or be okay

All the time I spend deciding what to say.

Humble my plans,

My grand schemes of pride;

Take apart my glory, And let all I am

Be only what You’ve done to me

- in spite of me -

On the inside.

Eradicate my worries

All my self-directed prayer.

Crush the god who tries to rule in me

And take Your place on Your throne

- in my heart -

And be the ruler there.
