O God

my depravity is becoming greater and greater in my conscious reality.
it reaches the heavens like a stench in the sky.
im amazed and dumbfounded that I haven't been squashed like a fly.
So I looked around and start to see that we are all like dust on a scale.
and honestly our pride is bigger than that of a whale.
All of us put together is like a single breathe
but when asked to give thanks to the Creator, we won't even confess
When we compare ourselves to the eternal God who doesn't need to rest
We always get tired, thirsty and hungry its clear that were a mess
Our life is like a vapour thats quicky blown away
but to God 1000 years is like a second, even less than a day
Yet we go on with our lives we say to the potter that we are not the clay
but that everything happened without a Creator's say.

I eat the dust like a worm on the ground.
Even though I know I was once lost and I'm now found
When I think about these facts its hard to get my mind around it
cuz most of the time I'm still confounded
that I'm still so blinded to the glorious God who saved me and is all around me.
but that a part of me still doesn't want to give Him the glory.
I am poor and needy I got nothing good on my own.
The things that I have, I have from crying before His gracious throne
Im amazed that He is so generous every time I ask, He gives charging no interest and responds super fast!
He is faithful to the end, even when I'm not. Its clear that without His love my thirsty soul would rot.

My knees hit the floor before the King of Glory, My heart jumps for joy, thrilled to be a part of His story. My soul longs for more as I gaze at His beauty. He's the one treasure that I've been looking for.
