All fall down

And worship…
And crown Him Lord of all…
And declare He is God and forever reigns…
And cry Abba…

Naked

I am undone before you Lord, all my ways exposed in the brilliance of Your light. I am open before You, my life laid bare as You show me...
How imperfect I am against Your perfection,
how unworthy in the light of Your glory.
How lost I am against Your perfect will,
how clueless when I consider Your plan for my future.
I only have to look at the works of Your hands, to be surrounded by Your amazing creation and I am filled with awe.
I fall to my knees when I survey the wondrous cross.
Teach me Your way and lead me in Your paths of righteousness.  
Refine me in Your fire, burn away every impurity and test me as gold.
Weigh my heart and see if there is any wicked way in me.
Restore unto me, the joy of Your salvation.
Take me back, Lord. Take me whole.
Take me as I am.
I am undone before you.
Naked.

Quiet before thee

My heart is steadfast oh Lord, my heart is steadfast, I will sing and make music. My heart is not proud, LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed myself and quieted my ambitions. I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
Ps 57; 131
