A Limitless God – v2

Made in the image
of a limitless God
we are blessed beyond measure;
What then is the stuff of man?
the bounds of our capacity
the limits of mankind, our life

Able to grow and to be transformed
to change the face of the earth
but walking in the dust of the earth
man, destined to die, to have dominion
over this good, good earth;
but made a little lower than God above

Made of the stuff of the world
not spirit as God is alone
able to submit our wills
and follow His commands
as Christ showed us the way
at Gethsemane and on Golgotha

We are given the work
to change the world
one heart at a time
sharing God’s love, God’s grace
Walking with Christ,
showing us the way
