beautiful

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

there is so much in this world that we fail to grasp
fail to see, fail to listen, understand and comprehend
and perhaps, we don't want to?

there is something in the realization of an end
the sudden awareness of vulnerability, pain, and hopelessness
that births a longing for redemption
and an abandonment of self to hope

when I've seen, no, known by faith that there is more
how can i be passive, how can i be still
where then
is the man whose heart is tender towards You?
but out of the dust and the ashes
You do make something beautiful

as You have desired for this world and Your people

and as I lose myself in You

and You make me new

to love just like You do
