The Object of My Affection
Captured Again

You’ve captured me again.
No letting up no letting go
It’s my life that you control.
You buckle my knees and I fall down
And as my face hits the ground
I know…

You’ve broken me again
Turned me all around.
You’ve turned my world upside down.
You draw me close and closer still
And there’s no place to run
And I know…

You are my fears.
You are my pain.
You are my doubts.
You are my shame.
You are my gods
I’ve set before Him.
You are my thoughts
That always ignore Him.
You are my sin.

This poem was birthed by the daily struggle of becoming more like Christ.  Sin is what takes our eyes off of what is really important, the God of Heaven.
