the word is near

it is in your mouth
it is in your heart

the word is near

God, bring it near, regardless of my youthful ignorance and foolish ways. Tame this serpent in my mind, twisting and writhing from you. The word became flesh, You are in my mouth, You are in my heart, You dwell within me (John 14:17). Tame me. Break me. Waste me of this fear of the children of man, whom you've risen from the dirt. For I'm nothing but the waste of my best deeds, what does man give to you? Who may counsel the Lord in His infinite wisdom? Leave us with nothing but the yearning of our priceless need of You.
