Holy Imprint



Holy God
Before your throne
I bow my face
To you alone.

Holy God
In brokenness
I give my heart.
Make it your own.

Imprint your will
Upon my soul.
Please purify
And make me whole.

Out of my lips
May praise ring true
That I may bring
Glory to you.

I wrote this simple chorus while driving to my parent's house this afternoon. It is hard to explain, but I sensed the presence of the Lord throughout the process, birthing lyric and worship in a blend of intimate devotion.

It may in fact be hard to verbalize, but I've been through that. I occasionally have people show me their poetry and I think God could have had little part in it.

This chorus attests to the opposite. I once had an awakening of sorts, in my spirit, for lack of a better description while singing a hymn to God in my car. I had to pull over. We never know when some of the most intimate moments we will happen, or what they will produce.

Blessings, I really like this.
