He’s Worthy

when i woke up this morning
i did not feel my bones
but knew there was life holding this house
i believed beyond what was beheld
and i knew i was going to live this day as if i could touch Him

what i have quantified is no longer contained
when the beginning and the end trade places
when limitation hitches a ride on a shooting star
never to land on my planet
never to become again more than a flash of an unanswered question mark
in the heart's tender recesses

i smell pain
and exchange it for the spice of joy
sprinkle it on the meat of pleasure
and chase it with a glass of ecstasy
for in Him i am made great through every affliction
my God is my need-
the Chasm wrought for glory
the Light too vast to fit
and the Person dwelling there
stars are born and die in my bosom
yet I am humbled and grateful to be a particle
honored to constitute a masterpiece

dust carries hope
and the vapor of my life
is a sweet fragrance
in the nostrils of humanity
and the galaxy
because I am standing in Him
and telling you
daring you to believe that
He
is
worthy
of His name
