With tears in our eyes

For the way of this world
no joy in difference
in those seeking acceptance
praise from others

With tears in our eyes
when we put on Christ
humble, in our countenance
loving in our touch

Wanting all to know
to truly believe
to come to our Savior
all on our knees

To be his hands, his voice
out in God’s troubled world
seeking our treasure
in our Creator, our Lord

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
