Wall

My instincts are to run from you

Aware of my humanity

Knowing that I am sinful being

Afraid what you would say to me

I look away

Distractions abound

Every sight, every sound

serve just to drown

Your voice - so still and small

I used to hear but now I doubt 

If you were ever there at all

To hide from your face

In our weakness, in shame

In sin there is deception

There’s no rest from pain

Our sin: paid for, dealt  with

Why does distance remain?

My sin was nailed to the cross

You have paid it all

But when I see my sin

I nail it to the wall

That separates me and you

That muffles out your call

I should be hiding in you

But yet I hide, I fall

You’re my rest and place of refuge

But yet here stands this wall

And I can not remember

Who put it there at all
