A prayer
Inside is a fetid place
Firmly shut and bolted
Where all the rubbish in my life
Has just been quietly posted.
The stuff that makes me burn with shame
Embarrassment and heartache
The things I would rather forget
That wouldn’t fit my image.
It is a dark and smelly place
But now it must be opened.
For you alone can clean this mess
This putrid rotten dungeon.
I’m sorry, Lord that you should see
And have to bear this burden.
I come to you so helplessly
Only your blood can cleanse
This mess I now to you surrender
Please cleanse, forgive and heal me

Don’t
lose me
Lord
don’t lose me as I drown again
As
I sink beneath this gloom of sin
Forgive
me, oh my Lord, I pray
Restore,
refresh, direct my way
Help
me to taste again the joy
Of
knowing that your love is sure
Of
walking close beside you Lord
Holding
your hand, my father God.
And
even in this deep dark space
Of
mixed emotions, of toxic waste
Help
me to know your presence still
Don’t
let me stray outside your will
