gentle acceptance

The song He gave me to hear before I headed off to bed tonight. David Teems, "A Name I Cannot Speak" from the CD 'No Language But a Cry'

If you are worthy of my hope
You are worthy of my hopelessness
You are worthy of a name
A name I cannot speak
You are worthy of this crown
I have laid here at your feet.

If you are worthy of my strength
You are worthy of my weaknesses
Of all the good that I've become
And all that I refuse to be
You are worthy of the heart
That lies broken at your feet

If you are worthy of my riches
You are worthy of my poverty
and of the beggar at the gate
or a mother as she grieves
You are worthy of each tear
That has fallen at your feet.

O if I have understood
anything you've tried to say to me
a gentle voice that says I could
find my way back home.
And says to me I'm worthy of the love
from the one upon the throne.


Just a snippet, but I couldn't find the entire song anywhere.
