We, You

This world,

Once a flawless garden, an immaculate dwelling,

A place made perfect by You.

This world,

Now a desolate wasteland, a sinful Earth,

A place destructed and shamed by us.

We,

We were made fearfully and wonderfully,

We had a great purpose, we walked with You.

We,

We have polluted, prostituted and poisoned ourselves.

We do not keep our promises, we are unfaithful.

You,

You love us anyway. You scream for us to see.

You forgive endlessly, Your mercy is ever-flowing.

You,

You died for us. You bore Your own wrath.

You redeem us, You make us new.

You,

You take the debris, you take the soiled world,

You bless it, You make it new.

You,

You guide us. You are ever patient.

You give us hope, You give us peace.

We,

We have purpose again.

We live and breathe and move,

in You. 

With peace and love,

Sarah
