Holy Like Thee

Holy Like Thee

A Poem by Melinda McQueen



Holy Like Thee

 

Tear down my defenses,

Rip out all ugliness.

Cleansing heart and mind,

To Thy will divine.

 

I release any anger, hurt I harbor

So that Thy Name I honor.

Let me be

Holy like Thee.

 

For to praise Thy glorious Name

Is the salve to my pain.

Worthy of more I could ever offer,

Still, Thy grace meets me at the alter.

 

Though I sin,

Thy love pulls me back again.

Spotless and new I long to be

Holy like Thee.

 

Wash me in the baptism of Thy wondrous grace

Until I dare to touch Thy face.

As of now, I’m so unworthy,

And need to be cleaned.

 

Even so, I’ve been filled with Thy love--

Love that is more than enough.

For the rest of my life, I seek to be

Wholly like Thee.
