Sacrifice

As a seed is sacrificed so new life can grow

So too do I yearn for sacrifice

To give up this vulnerable, small form

For the growth of a new and beautiful reality 

To cast aside all attachment 

And in so doing rend asunder the veils blurring my sight

Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy loved ones

That I may forget myself completely

Waft to me the sweet fragrance of true vision

And grant that I may die to the world and live only for You

This is my heart's desire

Veils

Sometimes I feel confined

Lost and blind

To the purpose of my service

Wandering in darkness

Unable to harness

The glory and gift of this experience

Sorrow consumes me

That I cannot serve Thee

In the way I would like to

And for a time, I am lost to You

As I struggle to break through

The veils I cannot see
