When we see the world

When we walk in faith
when we are renewed in love
when we see the world
through the eyes of our God
we love our creator
who made all this
we love all humanity
for he called us good

Very good
the words of our Creator
sending us his Son
to liberate, to save us
healing the brokenness
because of his love
wanting to walk with us
in the dew of the morning
loving us enough
that we would live
wanting us to love
just as he loves us

Seeking Praise of Men

Seeking praise of men
standing on this spot
bound to the dust
holding onto
treasures on earth
cleaving to that which rusts

Missing God’s Praise

In seeking worldly treasure
praise here on earth
missing God’s praises
life in new birth

Longing for our credit
pride in our own hands
seeking the praise of others
standing on sinking sand
