The dam wall

My hands are planted on the dam wall
Afraid of that wonderful burst.
Forgive me, Lord, that I stand
With finger
In
To contain
The tide
of you, Holy Spirit.

You,
Great Spirit, God
Have cracked that facade
You,
Lord,
Push in,
Flood our lives,
And I
Timidly stand
To stop

The flow from that fragile edifice.

Now your Kingdom advances -
Now break down the walls,
Now the violent men take it -
Take it by storm!

I take out my finger,
And so begin to push
To break down my walls
To
Let
Your river
Flow
Over me,
Flow
Through me.
