the breaking of us

Father, we come . . .

with repentant hearts.


we've not been submissive.

to authority . . .
to assignments.


we've not been accountable.

to tasks . . .
to teaching.


we've made excuses.

to responsibility . . .
to reliability.


we've assumed the victim.

to avoid . . .
to accuse.


we've been wayward.

to rebel . . .
to resist.


we've been restless.

to surrender . . .
to submit.

we've seen our need for You.

to rebuke . . . 

to restore.

we've decided to obey.

to serve . . .
to sacrifice.


we've chosen death.

to whines . . .
to wants.

we've come. 

to work . . . 

to worship.

we've said "yes".

to breaking . . .
to building.


amen.
