Let God Be God

With a blink of an eye

You make mountains;

one exhale and the sun rises.

You are God Most High!

And yet, I try to create

YOU

to fit into my life.

I confine

I limit

I humanize

THE Almighty

and I become god.

No wonder my life falls apart

like paper soaked in water too long

and why I lose control

(like I ever had it)

and why satisfaction cannot be found on anything

I lay my hands.

No wonder why

love

is not enough

to keep people and why

my soul yearns for

truth

in a room full of brokenness

as I watch

hope

crumble into piles on the floor

because it was never real

fake it'til you make it is a lie laughing at me.

But YOU, O LORD, are

the only hope

the only truth

the only love

the only GOD.

You created me

breathing LIFE into my lungs

And oh! What a life to live

if only I

could

let You be.
