We speak glibly of your glory, Lord God
But we live as though we were the Center
our minds pre-occupied with our own lives
our hearts set on our own concerns
our energy spent on things not Yours
And they have become wearisome…
But then we hear a liberating word,
An echo from eternity that reminds us of the way things really are:
“Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Heaven and Earth are filled with your glory!”
We are reminded
that we are not the Center
that the kingdom is yours
and the power is yours
and the glory too is all yours
Which is just the way we want it anyway.
Bring us home Lord God,
To You at the Center
And Us at the Fringes of Your Mercy.
Amen.
AMEN!
