Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 1/12



Isn't it curious?

I'm always on your mind, Lord,
especially when I've forgotten you...

You never turn your face from me
though I ignore and snub you...

You offer me your arms' embrace
though I resist your reach...

You're at the end of every road 
I take to run away from you...

You make your home within me
though I've locked and shut my door...

You listen to my every word
though silent I may be...

You come to mend my brokenness
when I deny my wounds...

You empty out your self for me
though I'm filled with self-pity...

You never fail to pardon me
each time I fail and fall...

You never give up loving me
though I give up on love...

Your mercy's deeper than my sins,
my guilt drowns in its shallows...

Your grace is always there for me
when from your grace I turn...

Without you I have nothing, Lord,
and all I have is yours...

Amen.
