Spirit and Flesh
December 25, 2011
Shine, O LORD, even when darkness tries to fester within me,
Overflow with compassion as greed poisons me,
Bring joy despite my taste of bitterness,
Lead in righteousness, keeping me from embarking on a lost journey,
Feed me with the Bread of Life as I starve myself from You,
Give me heavenly knowledge as I study folly,
Sanctfify me as I seek corruption,
Speak to me, as I unknowingly ignore You,
Show me love even as I express hate,
Be my friend, keeping me from wicked crowds,
Live in me as I die to myself,
Be my victory!
