Beloved

I stand before You
Naked
Yet unashamed
Trembling
Before Your piercing eye
Knowing You see
Every blemish
Every scar
Every imperfection
Every wound
Nothing covers me
Nothing shields me
From Your gaze
I hold nothing
In my hands now
All that I could bring
With me
Lies at Your feet
Unheeded
Worthless
And I am stripped
Vulnerable
Waiting
I know You
Have called me
I know You
Love me
I know You
Yet I die
Agonizingly expectant
And I come alive
Breathlessly hopeful
As You speak
My name
Beautiful
Captivating
Your robes cover me
You shield me
From the haunting eyes
Of others
You protect me
I stand in confidence
Before You
Complete in You
Whole
Redeemed
Yours
