How Am I To Live

I praise You the great Triune God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit who was; who is; and who will be forever and ever through the ends of the earth Your heritage is beyond measured time The earth formless, void with darkness You moved over the surface of the deep Larger than time or space Yet, gentle as a little lamb. You’re the color of sunshine’s radiance of twilights last gleam of reds and gold of the rainbow arching from horizon to horizon. I see you in the mighty ocean and the lady bug beetle I feel your presence as the wind blows softly Or when the spray of waterfall kisses my face You walk in the world; the world does not see You tell mankind how to walk “He has told you, O mortal, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, and to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” But, how am I to live? I praise you Lord Jesus You came and walked healed taught and loved You bore the sins of mankind Your shoulders heavy with the weight of generations From alpha to omega You died that I might live forever; But, how I am to live? I praise you Holy Spirit You came down as Jesus the Son ascended You live within me because I believe The Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior Sweet Holy Spirit stay here with me Empower and enable me to know; How am I to live? Open my eyes that I may see Those hungry -- physically and spiritually help me Those thirsty -- a simple drink to quench their thirst Those naked – my closet is full Those in prison – but, there are so many who are different Those who are sick –a kind visit touch of hand a smile May they see glimpses of you in me I praise you God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit King of king Lord of lords The Yahweh of history Ever-present ever-powerful everlasting I am but a speck in your grandeur; Yet, you guide me and show me How I am to live. Micah 6:8
