TW: Very Christian. No fire and brimstone tho. I promise. ✝️ - Prompt-esque

Won’t 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 can’t live within the Way,

I can’t say the things You say.

Wouldn’t You tether my heart

to Your own?

Wouldn’t You connect me,

not of flesh or of bone?

I can’t live with all this pain.

I can’t die, but I can’t 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 can’t breathe and I can’t feel,

I can’t be, please make me real.

Send me down to the depths of hell,

I’ll tell the devil I’m doing well.

Send me to a distant shore,

I’ll speak Your Word

and nothing more.

Send me home, Christ, I’m so weary.

Make me you cause I can’t be me.

Save me from the rage inside me.

Break me down and please revive me.

Turn the page and please rewrite me.

I can’t stand this empty feeling.

I can’t 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 don’t tally, don’t refrain.

Save me from my cursed brain.
