a crystal of God – v3

A crystal of God
a spark of eternity
singing to one another;
A crystal of God lives
in each beating heart

Together we are a chorus
rising to heaven;
One song of praise
of courage
together in union

Many hearts together
are stronger in the journey;
This walk, in grace
in love, all of us singing
one song to God

A crystal of God
is planted within us;
Calling to other crystals
in each beating heart
to join in the journey

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 
Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.”
&
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (rewritten by me)
17 Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are empty,
though the fields do not provide
their bounty, their harvest,
though the young are departing
for greener pastures,
18 yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its hooves
steady on the Mountain.
