Matthew 28:19

Waters behind me
The wind in my face
The earth sings a lullaby of praise.
Beauty surrounds me.
The world is all quiet
But I waved it goodbye last night.

I saw You in their faces.
There were hundreds of graces.
I saw You on the road,
     You in their homes,
          You in their hearts.
I carried You in my arms,
     You in my heart,
          I gave You to them all.
And they gave You to me.

She rocked her new baby
though so young herself.
There was fear in her eyes and heart.
I looked in her eyes and I saw You,
how she sacrificed her life for her child.

God speaks in the silence of your heart.
He loves those who are
broken and torn apart.
He has given them to us
That we might show them His love.
If not us who will hear His call…

To see You in their faces?
Bring Your love and Your graces?
Carry You on the road,
and into their homes,
into their hearts?

I carried You in my arms,
You in my heart,
I gave You to them all.
And they gave You to me.
