A Prayer of the Nearly Shipwrecked

This is Your impression on me
A mark to depict my fall and resurrection
I abandon the usual suspects
To go into the wild silence with You

You are not making a suggestion
Not asking with a please
How many regrets and confessions
and none of them required by You

But for every impurity I am
                            down on my knees
When you were not nightfall, daybreak
Some days I sailed, some tossed
                                         on dark seas
I now have a broken mizzenmast
                                   because of You

Now You can use me without mistake
I cling to You alone without hesitation
There's only so much I can take
I give myself completely to You

It's You alone that I direct my adulation
My backbone is Your salvation
Can't You see my compass cannot
                       make more miscalculations?
I live, I learn, I love alone with You

I will not try to make the pain dull
On the chin I take life's devastation
Feel free to gather Your flock to my hull
YHWH, for all to hear, I declare thank You

Infinite times, thank You
I understand Father
Count on my determination
But, please stop waving red at this bull
for my heart yearns to be Your waystation
