Replace my Nothing
With Something
Anything
Everything You want me
To do
To be
To share with others
Your heart
Your mind
Your love for them that
Doesn’t change
Never disappears
Won’t leave them no matter
What they do
What they say
What they think or feel.
Replace my Nothing
With Something
Anything
Everything that will
Lift You up
Honor You
Give you a fraction of
The love
The praise
The trust you deserve for
Living
Dying
Resurrecting for me not because
I deserved it
Or earned it
Or understood it but because
I didn’t
I couldn’t
I wouldn’t ever have what it took.
You replaced my Nothing
My Something
My Anything
With Your Everything.
Please do it again, today…
Isaiah 61:3 – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
