psalm 40

psalm 40

Thou shall have no Gods before Me

I read, I heard, I know

so I bow to only one God

(with a capital G) and yet…

how many little gods

have I worshipped

giving away time, focus, and my heart

chasing money, comfort, health

power, position and praise

forgive me again, forgive

this foolish child’s wandering

straining against the very chains

that set me free

draw me closer, Lord I come
