Choral Inspiration
oh what holiness we are
and so fallen
oh what peace we've lost
and blessing awaited
given so much and taken
without thanks or deserving
how far and how madly we wander
seeking that which was in our hands to begin
our pride and our selfishness are our end
what immeasurable glory and peace unimagined have we missed
what obscenity we commit
and call it faith
what bottomless depravity we delve
and call it caring
without our inheritance and given each to his own
how much do we not see and look away in pride
mystery revealed to he who sees not to seek
but only receive
oh what holiness we are
and so fallen
oh what peace we've lost
and blessing awaited
given so much and taken
without thanks or deserving
how far and how madly we wander
seeking that which was in our hands to begin
our pride and our selfishness are our end
what immeasurable glory and peace unimagined have we missed
what obscenity we commit
and call it faith
what bottomless depravity we delve
and call it caring
without our inheritance and given each to his own
how much do we not see and look away in pride
mystery revealed to he who sees not to seek
but only receive

For every door that closes another one opens.
Perhaps the one that was lost would not have been what dreams make it out to be.
And, perhaps, it is the not knowing that hurts the worst.
David,
You're absolutely right. This cuts to the bone. Thank you for sharing.
