Even if I deserve it, don’t be silent to me
I’ve crawled up cliffs only to be thrown down to seas
Scrape my scalp and face looking for hidden in plain sight answers
Cried tears I’ve hated while grinding my teeth into powder
God, you know how I’m totally lost without you
No one can or will love me like you do
+
I’ve been searching human hearts for dedication
Honestly I’ve failed others so I’m not innocent
The glue of self, gripping my preoccupation fixation on me on my I
But even if I deserve silence, please don’t apply it
Because where can I go if you won’t look at me
Where can I run to and experience being free
Who can I trust when I can not trust myself
Only you Lord, a constant presence, a very present help
+
You don’t lie, you can’t lie, you say you’ll never leave
You say you’ll never forsake me
So don’t turn your eyes away
Hear me now, speak, allow me to hear what you say
I don’t deserve your goodness but please have mercy and give grace
Yes, I deserve silence but speak to me still
Please.

A very present help
A very present help.
