Your covering
©9-13-10 hannah mclean
i shiver
cold without Your covering
which i have pushed aside
yet again
why do i insist
on walking alone?
why does my heart wander
seeking familiar places
far from You?
why do i flee the wrong direction?
slamming into walls
tripping over debris
scraped and bruised and weakened
i shiver
faithful Father
it is You who open my eyes
to behold my gaping flesh
and the dark places in which i fester
it is Your hand that lifts me up
and carries my limping body
to the place from which i wandered
it is Your heart, moved by compassion,
that will not leave me
even when i push you aside
You warm me with Your covering
till i am ablaze with praise
