Can an Empty Man, Pray to Him?

What if I sin again today
am I a liar if I do
does it hurt you if done that way?
what if it is different or new?

Can an empty ear hear for him?

broken promises stain my heart
so I know your love must decrease,
your presence around me departs.
how can you say your love increases?

Can an empty life, live for him?

Convoluted dreams invade me
causing spirals of confusion
that disallows me to be
wholly free of disillusions

Can an empty lung, breathe for Him?

My soul in ache begins to drown
worry and doubt it's containing
crushing discontentment weighs down
disproportionately straining

Can an empty hand, work for Him?

I can't get away from myself,
my baggage arrives before me,
How can I hand him sturdy nails?

Can an empty heart, yearn for Him?

Will my scars disgrace the Father,
Can I still accomplish His will,
Drenched in one sin and another?
Can love occur when scum I feel?

Can an empty mouth, sing for Him?

I feel I have won some battles,
wounds, left, are easily opened.
When I have given Him my all,
What is left after my knees bend?

Can an empty soul bleed for Him?
Can an empty man, pray to Him?
