No Fig Leaves

Poetry As Prayer series

Off the roller coaster, still spinning.

Quick glances at my heart—where am I sinning?

Jesus be near, I’ve felt myself slipping.

In the water of Your Word, I go skinny dipping.

Eyeball to eyeball, I’m not hiding.

Washed in your love, I’m abiding.

You will know me. You will know me.

Locks off, You’ll never need a key.

When You knock, I want to open.

You are Life, You are who I put my hope in.

I lay down the leaves cause I know You brought the Skin.

You wrap me in Your mercy robe, dawn begins again.

"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.” - Genesis 3:7

“And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them." - Genesis 3:21
