Please be my God.

rewarding my best,

calling me worthy

as I pass every test.

Please be my God,

shielding your eyes

we sing our sweet anthems

and claim victor's prize.

Please be my God

as I justify hate

and fight for my rights

for righteousness sake.

Don't show me the scars

our nails and our spear

whilst pleading forgiveness

we're refusing to hear

the cry of the outcast

the misfits who dare

we seem to have forgotten

that we placed you there.

When we, proud in spirit,

take guard at the doors

you break open heaven

you welcome the poor,

and when we, exhausted,

from the "good" that we do,

you love every dark soul

and usher us through.

A Friday, a Sunday

that challenge our lies

we will simply return

to being deaf, dumb and blind.

Simply be Jesus,

don't let my will win

let me see with eyes open

just where love begins

Forgiveness,

mercy,

hope,

love.....
