untouchable and protected

i could be untouchable

unaffected by you or anyone else

the protection i seek has a requirement

with total commitment, i must believe

i know You are here, i have seen and benefitted by your grace

but so often my humanity sabotages me and Your Grace gets pushed away

i seek asylum in Your Presence and when You open the door, i close it

i would say that often i am more afraid of where You Grace will take me than i am of what is confronting me

because You change me and that requires work and dedication, areas i am weak in and You know that

the shield and protection you offer has a price, and i must say it has never wavered or fluctuated like the market, it has remained fixed

the price is turning my life over to You

that does initially scare me, until i think about how i do the job by myself

here You take the reins, I’m tired
