The Turn

How can I call upon Thee, Lord?
Is it even to be tried?
When I've riled, cried, smiled, lied,
Seeking, not You, but to hide.
In all that is unclean in me,
Why not to water, but desert flee?
Can such a memory fail - far too easily,
I turn away from Your help in me.

When I struggle to call upon Thee, Lord,
This is where You come in,
Knowing already what has taken place -
Already knowing my sin.
Hope seems little, yet in truth it is great!
You call my soul - upon me You wait,
Concerned that I'm late - but beginning to learn,
You firstly invite this turn.

(2005).

I am here Rachel - yes your sins can be removed by using your brain and realizing that you have been deluding yourself by reading only ONE book.
