You know me

You know me.

You move me, mold me,
comfort me, carry me,
scold me, show me.

You know me.

the calluses, the stains,
shame, weakness, yet
a glimmer of beauty remains.

You know me.

a sheep gone astray,
my eyes turn from Your face,
still You are for me.

flesh and heart fail,
but my joy, my success,
purest moments of happiness,

You know me.

i seek the world.
you seek me.
i weep for me.
you weep for the world.

from beginning to end,
the form is yours.

You know me.

inside, outside, upside down,
deserts to mountains to seas,
words, thoughts, visions, dreams

You know me.

i deny you, i doubt you,
i hide, i flee, i turn away
i cause you pain
yet still you say
I am fearfully and wonderfully made

because You know me.

to know--to see all, feel all, hear all,
be in all.

You know me.

...me?

and yet, You love me.
