Becoming Flame

 

 

I offer You the straw of my life,

O Lord of my redemption.

Send Your angels, day by day,

To glean my field,

To fuel the fire of Your Love.

 

Did You not say,

"Learn from Me,

For I am meek,

And humble of heart?"

You do not need my riches.

You seek my poverty, my emptiness.

 

Your Fire penetrates my stubble.

I become like You,

All aglow As light and heat

Testify to Your Presence in the flame

That shoots to the heavens.

 

I am surrender and trust

In welcome transformation.

I am lost and yet eternal.

In You, straw by straw,

As kindling,

I am become the Flame.
