What are humans
that you are mindful of them, Lord;
mere mortals that you care for them?
Yet, you have made them
little less than a god,
crowned them with glory and honor…
Who am I that you should be mindful of me?
that you should even know me?
Who am I that you should care for me?
that you would care about me?
It’s hard to believe you know me, Lord,
that on days
– you can’t take your eyes off of me…
In the history of all creation, Lord,
every move I make,
every thought I have, every word I speak,
every hope I dream, every fear I carry,
every ache I bear, every wrong I do,
every joy I find
and every doubt I have
about you – and me…
You have made me little less than a god…
Indeed, you have, Lord!
You’ve given me a mind
You’ve given me a mind to know you!
How amazing, Lord, that this mind of mine
could, should ever know
that you reveal yourself to me,
that you invite me to know you and love you…
How generous are you
a soul that mirrors your image divine,
a soul alive with your Holy Spirit,
a soul anointed by your Spirit’s gifts…
How extraordinary, Lord:
your desire to make of my soul
your choice to be at home
in the humble house of my life,
your holy presence crowning me
with glory, grace and honor…
I’m created in your own image, Lord,
you’ve made me little less than a god…
If but for a moment I understood
who gives me life,
me completely,
who’s
mindful of me,
who suffers with me and rejoices with me,
who cries with me and laughs with me,
who calls me by name and forgives my sins,
who helps, heals and lifts me up,
who died for me and who rose for me
Fill my mind, my heart and my soul, Lord,
fill my body and my whole being;
let your peace, like a river,
Amen.
