Beyond the Clay

I cannot see beyond the clay

That You have made aware

I reach my hand beyond today

Beyond my deadened stare.

If peace is plentiful beyond

I ask that You might share

A piece of that, which You’re so fond,

And show me that You care.

I’m sorry for my doubting heart,

My lack of faith or hope.

From You, I can’t live life apart

Without, I wouldn’t cope.

I’m standing on my battle ground

Alone except for You

But are You here and all around?

You’re not within my view.

Break me if You want to; show me!

Don’t let me have control.

Break my life down ‘til I agree

Then build me to be whole.
