Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy.
You are worthy.
I am empty
But I worship
By Your fulness.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are Creator.
I am human
But I have access
By Your grace.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are Master.
I am bondslave
Yet You love me
With who You are.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are Savior.
I am sinner
Yet You saved me
From eternity apart.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are perfect.
I am broken
Yet You see me
A new creation.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are Light.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are Love.

Holy, holy, holy.
You are God.

Holy, holy, holy.
You Are.

Delights

My Lord delights.
I knew this not.
I knew Him only as austere.

My Lord delights.
I’m learning this.
He whispers it to me.

My Lord delights.
I saw Him only
With a crease between His brow.

My Lord delights.
I thought I knew Him.
But it was Zeus in stone.

My Lord delights.
As glinting diamond,
Far more faceted than I.

My Lord delights.
What joyous knowledge!
In His image, I.

My Lord delights.
This overwhelms me:
Object of delight.

My Lord delights.
What else I learn
Takes this not away.

My Lord delights.
And in my worship,
Lord, my delight is You.
