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
