My God, My Lord of my life

My tears fill the oceans
And they fall from within
Full of my sorrow
For my life, an eternal sin
Endlessly drowning in
Casks of toxins
Draughts of poison
Outpourings of my emotion
I was left behind
Never chosen
Cast out and abandoned
My broken dreams and mind
I have no reservoir inside
So I am forced to move forward
Long have I loved
Long have I lost
But still
I am waiting forever
Never counting the cost
Redeem my grieving
Make me whole oh Lord
I am alive
By the barest measure
Lord make me yours
Let me be your work
Let me know of your depths
Exact as clockwork
Beautiful as art
Lift me please
From the clay
From the murk
I long to be alive
But cannot restore my flesh
Nor my spirit alone
Only by your hand
Will I revive
