We’ve built barriers
between our hearts and You.
You knock for us
to let You in.
You want to burn down
the walls of our
sin and errors.
You want to correct
the parts of our hearts
that need to be corrected.
And You come with
a gift of Your love.
But sometimes when
we do allow You in,
we allow You to reside
just as a guest;
when in reality You need to be
the owner and the holder.
Owner and holder of our hearts, souls, and minds.
