Breaking

Breaking

My understanding is so small.

My sight does not reach far.

Yet I pretend to grasp the depth

Of all of who You are.

You gaze into my child eyes.

You burn right through my heart.

My every breath You plan, You know,

Each broken piece, each part.

Illuminate my footsteps, Lord.

Guide me. Let me see 

The beauty that is in You, God,

The love You have for me.

Longing overwhelms my being.

Please help me understand.

Break my heart for what breaks Yours

And make me whole again.
