In response to Acts 17:24 – “The God who made the world and everything in it
is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.”
He who made the land and sky
dwells not in man-made things
for in each heart that calls on Him
His truth and life He brings.
Hearts that have become His home
each empowered by His love
to be His heart, His hands and feet
for He is quite enough.
Yet as we come together
united, common cause
encourage one another well
not pointing out the flaws.
For when at last we see Him
in His glory and His grace
I want His words to be the ones
“well done, you’ve won this race”.
When at last I see His eyes
and may run to His embrace
I hope to be a reflection
and mirror back His grace.
Each day I wake has purpose
determined before my birth
to live and love and honor Him
assured of my great worth.
A worth that is eternal
because He resides in me
I cannot make it more or less
Lord, open eyes to see.
