I Choose

By Mike Bullock

I choose to let You shine Your light
Into my darkness deep
Those areas of septic waste
Where no-one ever peeps
Conglomerate of past and fear
That’s built a wall so thick
Transforming one so beautiful
Into someone so sick

You have the power to reach into
The cesspit of my life
To chip away the barnacles
Of bitterness, pain and strife
Come delve into this soggy mess
A barrier to You
Change me into Your dear child
So I can romp with You.
