simple beliefs that
can not longer be held
faith in grace that
will never be lost
wish I could recall some highlights from my yearning to believe
even – or perhaps especially –
when I know there is
nothing else to entertain such belief
but you
you are my religion
seek you in prayer
and look for you as you are
my true everlasting savior
a bright and shining star
insist on a literal acceptance
of your interpretation
let me become a stumbling block rather than a stepping creation
you are my religion
reveal your plan for the world
and humankind
in ways that address my mind
and heart
with powerful images of beauty
brokenness
need
redemption
love
and forgiveness
choose me and let me
become your own possession
for the purpose of manifesting
to the world your redemptive plan
mightiest act on behalf
indeed obey your voice
and keep covenant
I shall be your most treasured possession amongst all people
win the prize they all coveted
let me serve to your purpose
delight in it
and rejoice to hear
that this truth will never fade
you are my one and true religion
because you are the one
that has been making me complete
you are the only type
of faith I need
you taught me what it means
to be redeemed
loved
and forgiven
as we now live in the glory
of my creed
