Of Him Whom I Trust

OF HIM WHOM I TRUST

I ask you to cleanse,
to dredge the lake,
survey my thoughts.

Burn the bad ones
upon a floating bier,
So I might be clean.

Let my eyes behold
your glorious book.
Bring each word to life

like a spiritual dove
alighting upon me,
like a flaming tongue.

Taught by the living God
is what they will say.
I praise your wondrous name!
