Puppet Psalm
TW: Very Christian. No fire and brimstone tho. I promise. โ๏ธ - Prompt-esque
Wonโt You stay
my hand again today?
Wrap me in Your strings,
bind my hands unto Your palms.
Shape my mouth to
sing Your Psalms.
I canโt live within the Way,
I canโt say the things You say.
Wouldnโt You tether my heart
to Your own?
Wouldnโt You connect me,
not of flesh or of bone?
I canโt live with all this pain.
I canโt die, but I canโt change.
Draw me up from the lost and dead,
strings on my chest and in my head.
Raise me up to do Your will.
Make me speak,
please make me heal.
I canโt breathe and I canโt feel,
I canโt be, please make me real.
Send me down to the depths of hell,
Iโll tell the devil Iโm doing well.
Send me to a distant shore,
Iโll speak Your Word
and nothing more.
Send me home, Christ, Iโm so weary.
Make me you cause I canโt be me.
Save me from the rage inside me.
Break me down and please revive me.
Turn the page and please rewrite me.
I canโt stand this empty feeling.
I canโt bear the cross I carry.
String me up with broken chains.
Make me new, please make me change,
so I may in Your grace remain.
Please donโt tally, donโt refrain.
Save me from my cursed brain.
