Polar Opposites

From a young man here moving towards Translation, Conversion into being clothed with Jesus…

Polar Opposites

Father, i can call You Abba!

Child, could i ever be?

Master, Lord of all Creation

Yet me, a weakling, a sinner, can’t You see?

God, i know you’re bigger than me

But how much bigger i can’t even begin to see!

Why would the Lord of all Lords

Want to make His Home in weakling me?!

God, we’re polar opposites

As far as the east is from the west

But turn the magnet in my heart

To attract to You and repel me

Always northward, then, i’ll sing

‘Cause the compass in my heart is free

God, i hate my sin, indeed!

It separates me from You, oh King!

But in the separation, it’s You i see

The absolute antonym of me

God, You’re so much Lovelier than me

But Your Loveliness i can’t even begin to see

Why are You the Lover of all weak things?

Why would You choose to make Your Home in me?

God, we’re polar opposites

As far as the east is from the west

But turn the magnet in my heart

To attract to You and repel me

Always northward, then, i’ll sing

Cause the compass in my heart is free

God, You reveal Your Face to me

And how can i resist the northward tug

That’s saying, “COME! I’ll make you FREE!”

God, we’re polar opposites

But, i know You’re changing me

As far as the east is from the west

That’s how far away my sins will be

And ever northward, God, we’ll sing

Cause i’ll be Your child, You’ll be my King!
