Listening More Deeply

God ever speaking
but we fail to listen
to be moved by his calling
his purpose for our lives
we long to govern
to guide, to shape
to be our own masters
when we are but clay

We are called to be servants
to yoke with the Christ
who suffered, who died
that we might have life
we are but vessels
God’s hands have formed us
to be used for God’s purpose
to change the whole world
