surrendering ordinary

I have a history

(as do we all, I believe)

of feeling different

of standing out, being called out

for one reason

or another

too fat

too smart

too bold

even for a time too American 

here in Canada

and my wounds would cry out

can't I just be ordinary

fade out

blend in

but there is a higher call

to be separated

set apart by Him

I am His

and He asks me

day by day

sometimes moment 

by moment

will you surrender ordinary

for the sake of My glory?
