here in this moment I'm praising You
I could pray for hours and days right through
pray for the Spirit I know to be true
I will go from here. I will falter. I'm not perfect.
Yet I know right now in my heart You are worth it
When I'm reminded of Your miraculous death and birth it
Inspires me to throw up my hands and worship
I want to sing
to dance
to praise Your name!
Yet if I'm honest - I must admit with shame
I will struggle. And then I need You more.
I need Your love. I need Your law.
I need Your help to go to my core.
Remind me of Your name. Inspire me with awe.
Bring me back to the memory of right here. Right now.
As I shout your name as loud as everyone around me will allow.
Fill me with Your spirit. Build me anew.
LORD.

Written for Ledbury 2017. I don't write much religious poetry. This is certainly one of the first I've ever performed. Given how much it forms a central part of my philosophy, it's something I'm trying to address.
