I live as if this life is everything,
As if this life is the only thing.
I find myself dumb,
When I try to find words,
To express my devotion for you,
When I realize this life is nothing.

Your apostle called it a vapor.
Forgive us Lord,
For it is difficult for us to understand
Eternity
When our bodies are mortal.

Lord, forgive me when I make this body my home.
For I live like one who has no spirit,
Thinking when this body passes I am no more,
Forgetting that the physical is only the smallest part of our being.

I praise you, Lord.
For reminding me I am a visitor.
That the expanse of this universe is small
Compared to you.

Thank you, Lord,
When you remind me that
Worry
Comes from making this life the priority.
Fear
Comes from thinking this life is the end, not the means.
Hurt
Comes from raising my brothers and sisters above you.

Thank you, Lord,
When you remind me that
Your plans are bigger than this
You are bigger than our lives
You are steadfast;
When you remind me that
You are
And you will always be.
