You Clothe the Beggar

You Clothe the Beggar

You never give up

Relentless and pursuing God

How can you continue to love me?

What is my heart

That you love it so?

When I examine myself

I am bewildered.

You prize me.

What is my righteousness?

What is my character?

Surly, I am like a beggar

Who after being clothed

In the kings garments

Went out and rolled in the mud.

I have not known the true value of your gift.

Yet you offer your love to me

Calling me your daughter.

God, I am yours

Help me to live as yours

Not as a beggar

May I in return

Be as you

Clothing the beggar

Remembering you clothed me.
