River
Let the river of life flow
through my calloused hands
while my blood stained soul
screams black
sinner?
saint?
my heart knows they
are the same
but the latter is true
truer than the former
in Him alone…
crushing self
born in soil
raised in power and glory
who will save me
from this body of death?
the One and Only
the pierced One
the Truth -
