Waiting: Psalm 103

Your love fills up the heavens
    It falls upon the earth,
But in the house I live in
    All that I know is dirt.

My hands are darkly blackened
    My fingers claw for light,
And in this muck I’m planted
    Your love seems out of sight.

Perhaps I’ve built a shelter
    Of darkness for my sin.
Perhaps I’ve shunned the helper
    Who wants to come within.

When ever will you break through
    My dingy shelter’s walls,
Washing off the residue
    Of ugly sinful scrawls?

Will bloody hands be lowered
    To lift me from this hole?
Will loving words be showered
    To cleanse and make me whole?
