My Body Is Waterlgged

My body is waterlogged
from the water springs of Your grace
You quench the thirst of my spirit
with less of me and more of Yourself
You pour all of your eternal goodness
into my empty cup
I can't sustain by my own might
no matter the many times
I am told by outside voices
that I am enough
once I truly show compassion
towards myself
but only You can truly satisfy
the endless desires of my heart
which overflows
within the spirit
of my waterlogged body
like the currents
of a thousand rivers
