Shine where we are planted



Wherever we are in the world
stuck in the muck, the mire
held in the miry clay
lost in the world’s calling

God finds us here
right where we are
lifting us up from the dust
changing our life’s journey

Shine where we are planted
God’s light to the world
offer grace to all you meet
until the whole world is restored

Bear God to the world
the hands and feet of Christ
giving all you can
holding nothing back
