Oh, to hope, to place
trust
in You who sees, in You
who holds strongly, faithfully
bearing strength,
wisdom and
power beyond our days--they are
finite
and weak, bearing
lackluster devotion--our efforts to
sustain ourselves, and
we fail again, and
again.
Oh, to surrender, to have
faith
in You who knows, in You
who carries gently, tenderly
bearing mercy,
grace and
peace beyond ourselves--we are
weary
and restless, lacking
stillness in quiet--what is needed to
replenish ourselves, and
to hear You, only
You.
Oh, to praise, to swell with
love
for You who gives, for You
who births kindly, wonderfully
bearing justice,
revelation, and
compassion beyond our means--You are
beautiful
and Holy, meant to be
revered in worship--our whole selves to
begin and
end in You, only
You.
