Crying Out - 1

Weighty sins grab me; Crippling me from what I seek: Close proximity. On my own I fail, without any scrap of worth. I'm self defeating. I scream out to you with rage that strips my voice bare, hoping that you hear. There is no reply, as if you abandoned me to rot in my state. Be swift to save me. Be ready to lift me up. Be quick to forgive. I still feel the pain, and hot anger tow-ard you, though you are my health. Replace my raw filth that devastates every word, keeping me from you. Please don't hesitate by delaying my rescue because of my pride. Your grace is life's breath. Without it I suffocate with it I'm sustained Please answer my prayers and forgive me of my sins. Have me feel your love.
