Hey ya'll,
I mentioned in another thread to DollyDeal that I had heard a really good poem on K-Love radio station on the way taking kids to school one morning.
Here's the poem:
UNDO MY HEART
I don’t really worship these days
I don’t really stand up to praise you with songs
Or prayers or actions
or with anything
I am full of all the right moves
I am full of all the right words
I am full of all the right religion
But it is all just illusion
I am really
Lonely
Lost
Calloused
Jaded
Cynical
Too religious
Too realistic
and well, really just too lazy
to worship you anymore
I have lost my first love
I have lost the joy of your presence
But most of all, I have lost the fear of Your glory
Father I need to see you again
Like Isaiah, I want to stand in awe of Your glory
To fall down at your feet
To come face to face with your
Perfection,
Radiance,
Goodness,
Holiness,
Awesomeness
I want to stand before you and see you for who you are
and me for who I am
I want to be undone
I want to know me for who I really am
I want to see the depths of my heart
And know that you are the only way
You are the only truth
You are the only life.
I want to see me and understand
what it really must have taken for you to
Love me,
Care for me,
See me,
Speak to me,
Want me,
Communicate with me,
Die for me,
Die for me,
Die for me.
Lord, I want to stand in that place where all I can see is your glory
and my sin,
because in that place I can’t help but worship you.
Lord let me come undone
Undo my heart.
Lord, undo my heart.
Break down these walls that I love so much.
No, wait, don’t.
I’m scared. I don’t know if I can handle this.
Don’t.
But I can’t live this way anymore
I can’t stand here in this half-life,
this going through the motions life,
this “not really alive” life.
Father, I need you, so come in and do what you must.
Cut out the tumor on my heart.
Break down the walls that I love.
Lord let me come undone.
Undo my heart
let me worship you again.

What a powerful message;
I prayed it. I meant it.
