Excavate me oh Lord
Help me brush away the dirt
from the treasures of my soul.
Take me out of darkness
into your all pervading light.
Such a glorius sight that,
would it be if I could bear
to cast mine own eyes
upon my whole Self
without going blind.
Thou Great Archeologist
Blow your gentle breath
across my soul
and reveal me to myself
(but only when you deem me ready)
I shall live here
cultivating my patience and trust
and knowing that that which I ask
if it fall in line with your will
be done.
Help me to embrace each moment
as you bring it to me.
Oh Great Archeologist
Excavate me
so that I may see Your shining glory
within myself
within my Self.
Amen |
