desperate and helpless
drown in my perverted nature
in total depravity
like the trees
stripped of their glorious autumn colors
stark-naked
but here in lies the beauty of it all
You see past my shortcomings,
my misplaced affections and worldly pretense
and amidst the ugliness of self,
the jewel made in Your Image
You love me just as i am
there's nothing i can do to gain Your love
nor anything i can do to forfeit it
I need You
and even before the words are formed in my mouth
i'm in the Arms of Love
the apple of Your eye
Psalm 16:2 "....apart from you i have no good thing."
