Closer

Your power overtakes me.
Your wisdom penetrates
The most stubborn parts of me.
Yet you are gentle.
Your love caresses me
In moments of peril.
Your grace reassures me
Even through my own faults.
And so I awoke with You
In mind and in heart,
Wanting only to be close.
Your presence leaves me
Enamored and empowered
To live only for You.
Your light brings notice
To my blemishes,
And so I strive to be cleansed.
As time passes You wash away
The spots of tarnish
And You heal the decay.
You are my food.
You are my drink.
You are my medicine.
I just want to be closer to You.
