Where Have I Been Blind?

Like Saul,
I am a pancake of 
self-righteousness
flattened on the ground
before You.
I cannot lift myself
from the dirt,
for I cannot see.
I cannot crawl 
to Your voice,
for I cannot hear.
I cannot beg for 
Your mercy,
for I cannot speak. 
My heart is 
crumbling 
into 
dust.
My mind aches 
in this land.
My soul longs only 
for You. 
Yet,
I cannot reach out to You;
so helpless I am. 
Have mercy on me,
I beg You,
dear Lord.
Open my eyes 
so I can see. 
Where have I been blind? 
Only Your Way
will rescue me.
