This was written in July of 2003 at Redwood Christian Park. I had just turned 12.
I am captured in my own pool of filth.
Sin surrounds me; Your love abounds me, but I still cannot wash away the dirt myself.
Lord only You can save my soul from this prison-this prison that is killing you while you still have breath.
Lord save me, hold me, make me Your servant.
Take the key and unlock the door to this prison and my heart.
I want to be Your child.
Show me the light to the gates of Heaven.
Save me from death and a dirty past.
Let me live eternally.
Prepare me a house in Your dwelling place.
Father wash me clean.
Let me clean my heart in clear waters.
Father brighten my candle from it's dimness.
Pull me from the murky grave I am rotting in.
Take my heart and my hand and set me free.
I had not yet entered junior high when this was written. God's love knows no age. I chose to be baptized that summer in the RCP pool. God has declared Redwood Christian Park an area of intimacy for Him and me. Being given the chance to work there again this summer is making me so incredibly excited. Waiting for work is like waiting for Christmas or Disneyland. All I can do is say "Daddy, are we there yet?"
God has answered this prayer everyday since I first wrote it nearly 7 years ago. It does not get better than this.
