God’s got me in His sights
I’m lined up for the shot
He’s targeted all the stinking parts
Which I really thought “Quite nice”
“I think that person looks boring, a total lack of fun”
Bang! They do something amazing
I’m the one that’s dumb
I sit in priggish judgment on those I look down upon
They obviously don’t understand the truth
Poor misguided ones
(machine gun) He’s really nailed me
As they share amazing words
I got it so wrong, it’s absurd
If my attitudes were hung on a washing line
It would be full of gigantic nickers
That would stretch to the moon & back
For all to see & snicker
But He kindly takes my laundry
And cleans it out of sight
Dries it & irons all the creases out
And returns it under cover of night
If we could smell our sin or see it as a colour
How different would our actions be? …
Or really… would we bother?
Would we make our hearts a space
Into which He could freely flow
Or self protecting react from wounded parts
And continue with the show?
