“The Bigger Life”
There's a life we live that’s bigger than the little ones we live;
There’s a call to step into our age and stage full measure give;
There’s a challenge here before us as the old ways fade away,
And new options for our futures in God’s bright new shiny day.As a hope which springs up in us ’midst the wreckage of our past,
Where mistaken seeds we planted came to fruit for us at last,
It’s so easy to hold focus on the negative in such,
That we start to feel life’s all a mess, and it seems overmuch.But there’s hope within a forest which was blackened in a fire,
As new shoots of life spring upward and new life-forms find desire,
Which just days before seemed hopeless midst established structured life,
Finds an unexpected opening – hope springs upward in the night.Holy Spirit, as we enter into days of chaos, war,
Keep us centered on your larger life, with hope and so much more;
Keep us steady midst this tumult as we seek to find Your way,
In the chaos of uncertainty, discern new life today.Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
