My God
I claim you falsely
Others I have sought
God
This prayer it haunts me
Knowing whom I've fought
Savior
I don't know you
I have not learned your ways
Often I forsake the days
And embrace night's bitter comforts
Her feckless, wanton play
Embrace night's feral consorts
His hedonistic fray.
Shame
Thoroughly courted
Doubt
I know it well
Death
I have consorted
With things both foul and fell
Sin
I know most clearly
Vice
My resting place
Destruction
Holds my heartbeat
And Hatred
Wears my face.
My God
Can I still name you
Can I still call you mine
When I have wandered farther
Than I thought that you could find?
Lord
Do I still know you
When I have left your side
When I have failed on purpose
Just to widen our divide?
Savior
Can you claim me
When I've loved being lost?
I have been a thorn upon your brow
And held you to a cross.
My God
I do not know you
But I see you everywhere
