fear of man

i listened
you spoke of fear
and idolatry
you broke my soul
with repentance
i knew your displeasure
and your mercy
tears you drew forth
in recognition
that i have sinned
against you alone
what is man,
that I fear him?
what is man,
that I lust
for his approval?
what is man,
that I revere him?
break this yoke
destroy this stronghold
I can't do this without your strength
