Break Me of Me

Break me of me

And my oh so fond

Obsession

For all I do

In this my

Confession

Make my desires

Be to thy glorious 

Affections

Who looks long

With eyes of love

Upon my imperfections 

Pursuing me

When I am full

Of discontent 

Carry me

And fill me

For I am undone

Void of desires 

Ere are passing

In thy presence

Erelasting the days

May be with hands

Raised to thee

My heart restore 

Anew emplore

That thy life 

May fill my veins 

Pure thy joy 

Restore 

Prepare my mind

And fixed be

On thee 

Repent and ere

Relent my will

Thy will be done

In me my heart

Now fill the more 

To ponder

And adore

No more of me

Thy ways

For all that life

Shall give

Tis a gift

And oh to joy 

This heart of mine

Employ divine

Thy light to shine 

Stain the dark

With thy lark of love

And spark a flame

In me that in

The darkest shadows

Bright the broken

Hearted night

That once more

Dawn again 

And conquer sin

And death shall be

No more

-Joshua Lee Foist

May not my status lie

May not my status lie
In what others think
Save in thy own
Great pleasure

May I ere
To treasure thee
More as thou
Dost me

For where
I may flee
No where else
Can I

That you
Are not
Nor death
To save

For thy life
Already
Gave

And here
Is love
The kind
I all too oft
Fear

To give
To live
In such
A way

Each and every
Day thou grants
So fond of
Acknowledgement

My life is hidden
With thee
And it need be
No mystery

So may my waking
And dying breath
Ever be

Oft and only
For thee
No matter
What trial

Or joy may be
Thou art
The only life
I know

That will never
Cease to bring
Me sweet
And fullest

Peace
To fill
My doubting
Mind

Hope beyond
All mankind
Thou art
And more

-Joshua Lee Foist
