a change of attention / a prayer for the worshiper

More than authenticity, I ask for a yielded heart

More than anointing, I long to see you rightly

More than talent, I ask that you posses my heart with more of you

More than singing well-thought-out lyrics,
Or running on the hamster wheel of performance,
More than the tickling of ears,
Greater than hype or emotion,
More than gifting, acknowledgement, or the climax of a song-

My hearts greatest desire is you.

I shift my gaze to your precious, holy presence.

I submit my personality & choose to consume of you

I surrender my casualty in exchange for great hunger

I lay down all of my observations & judgements at your feet and choose to participate in extravagance

I refuse to approach you pretending that I do not know your nature
My eyes have seen and my lips have tasted
For I have learned that you have not set yourself on reserve for eternity

My passionate heart overflows in gratitude & praise-
for I have footsteps full of history

What wild,
genius,
incomprehensible love is this?

Jesus, it’s you.
