Clean
Heb. 10:22 “Let us draw near with a true heart
in full assurance of faith with our heart sprinkled clean
from an evil conscience and our body washed with pure water”.
My heart sprinkled clean
is that my true longing?
Of my desires I mean
which are also encircling self.
My flesh that keeps the fire
always fed and burning
through self justification
and ego, pride through sweat.
“A true heart” ... what a call?
No guile be found in that one.
I am so glad it did not say “good”
for that would blow me away.
“Just as I am without one plea”
now has a sudden meaning
it brings “I am”, that is in Christ,
assurance to the Eternal day.
