Naked

I stand naked before You LORD…
What can I say that You can not hear?
What could I think that You don't already know?
Where could I touch that You have not already reached?
Expose the hidden and dark recesses of my soul
Fill them with knowledge of You
Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts
and see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24)

I stand naked before you LORD…
Bereft of all the trappings of vanity
I willingly divest myself...
of all things contrary to your nature
Stripped of all earthly desires,
only Your loving protection covers me...
I own nothing but the love you have given me
This is the very love by which my soul cleaves to You...
You are closer than my next breath...

I stand naked before you LORD…
Desiring nothing...
but the quietude of Your presence...
To worship You, my only allegiance,
in the beauty of holiness...
To render to you the glory due unto Your name
(1Chronicles 16:29, Psalm 29:2, Psalm 96:9)

Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are clothed with honor and majesty
(Psalm 104:1)

O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways are past finding out (Romans 11:33)
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high,
I cannot attain to it (Psalm 139:6)

I stand naked before you LORD…
Seeking only to be clothed with Christ (Romans 13:14)
To put on heartfelt compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12)

I am made righteous by Your own sacrifice ~
Love this profound is beyond any measure
I greatly rejoice in the LORD,
my soul is joyful in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10)

With a pure heart, a clear conscience...
unfeigned faith... in humble adoration...
I worship You in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24)

Meanwhile, my soul groans,
longing to be clothed with its heavenly dwelling
(2 Corinthians 5:2)
