"A Place to Lay My Head"

"I am the Lord of the weak and the broken.
I am the lover of the outcast and the sinner.
I am the seeker of the hungry and the humble.
I am at home in their hearts and in their presence.

I am not welcome among the proud or the mighty.
I am not the reward of the sinless or the pious.
I am not comfortable among those who are perfect
in the sight of the religious.

Will you condemn Me for being
at home with those you believe I shun?
Will you judge Me as you judge them?
Will you reject or welcome Me in them?"
