do you not know that you are God's temple
and God's spirit is inside of you?
if anyone destroys God's temple,
God will destroy them. (Corinthians 3:16-17)
i laid body splayed
and god said, what's my name?
well put yourself under me, now
get on your knees.
speaking the truth in love,
God put the body together,
giving great worth
to the parts that lacked it (Corinthians 12:22-24 )
(call me crazy for seeking God,
when I have to walk around like nothings happened
and tolerate strange men talking to me like they know me intimately.)
and if your body was splayed
then you would beg for you name.
and if i was inside you
you'd read the bible too.
it is my eager expectation and hope
that i will not be at all ashamed.
with full courage now,
God will be glorified in my body (Philippians 1:20 )
my body, given to you,
for the forgiveness of sin. (Luke 22:19)
i came when you called my name.
i moaned holy words, self-assured.
