Lord, Sometimes I...

Lord, sometimes reckless, I push you aside

And replace You with my own foolish pride

And sometimes I choose hopeless fear and doubt

Though all around the earth Your wonder shouts

Lord, sometimes I am glib and wide-eye blind

With wordy exposition dull of mind

And sometimes I’m forgetful of Your ways

While all around me nature sings your praise

Lord, pitiful and full-amazed I gasp

And strain to picture hell’s keys in your clasp

Yet stooping you would wash a servant’s feet

…the train of your robe pouring to the street

Lord, sometime I try to envision You

Reaching to me with hands that nails pierced through

My thought and eyes glimpse shadows of Your frame

While all around creation shouts Your name

This morning's worship service was filled with people sharing a favorite verse or two about Jesus; over and over, as precious words of praise and promise were read, I realized that I was trying to visualize Him but grasped at vague imaginations of Perfection! Someday, we face to face will see, He who fills each day with grace and wonder.

...as day dipped to dusk the train of his glory filled the sky!!

...for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever, 

Amen. Matt 6:13
