Bright Shiny Objects
Why do we fix our eyes on bright shiny objects of this world
rather than gaze into the brightness of God’s glory, that shines
into this world of darkness we live in?
May we long to sit at His feet,
More than holding hands
With humanity.
May we run into His embrace
rather than into human arms.
May we lift our eyes longingly
And look into his lovely face
rather than fixing our eyes on
things in this earthly realm…
May we see clearly with heavenly eyes
And not with earth’s foggy vision
May we hear with clear perception
and not with ears clogged with earthly wax.
May He give us supernatural balance
to stay on the highway of holiness
and walk in His ways
and not our own.
May He gently pull us away
from the edge of cliffs
When we lose our hope
And can’t see what’s ahead.
May He be our joyful song
in the night when we weep
Tears of grief and pain
from deep sorrows of this life.
May He snatch us from the enemy’s grasp
set us free to become what we’re created for
To fly high above the storms
To be fully awake and alive!
May He whisper in our ear
And calm our every fear
May He smile on our day
Because His Word, we obey.
May we be divinely led
As we eat His Word, we’re fed
By the bread and wine that’s
His Body and his blood.
May we daily seek His forgiveness
As He washes us with His Word
In Him we are complete
Only in Him we are pure.
May we look to the bright future
When He comes to take us as His bride
We’ve made ourselves ready and
our dress is without spot or wrinkle.
