Grappling With Divinity

Eternal sustainer
the beat of my heart
the life in my breath
flowers grow
of your goodness
trees fall at your will
we are saved
by your mercy
your word spoke
life into existence
your word speaks
life into existence
should you cease
to think of us
we would cease to be
every moment
heartbeat
breath
thought
a generous gift
of grace made manifest
from you we are becoming
to you we are returning

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
