Fill Me Oh Lord

 

Please pour out your spirit like a rain

over this chasm of hollowness

where my soul languishes in love’s void.

Immerse me in your divine grace

let it wash over me and fill me fully

for I ache from my own emptiness,

just a shell of life so vacant

and lacking a sense of fulfillment

 

Long have I wander the wilderness in vanity,

naked and alone, lost without hope

covered in the stains of my impurities,

fatigue plagues my steps of this pilgrimage to self

where I feel soiled and scarred

utterly bedecked with sadness.

 

Grant me the cleansing

of my wayward garments,

clothe me in raiment of your grace

until I can know the serenity

only you can bestow

in compassion and forgiveness.

 

Reveal to me the vision eternal

show its light in my darkness,

let it become the fire in my heart,

which will at last allow me to see

the place you intend my life to dwell

then cherish its sanctuary with the praise

over how makes me whole.
