Ascribe to the Lord

i am overcome by Your glory
undone by Your power
i am nothing
who am I
that You think of me
that You care for me
that You know my name?
oh Great God, Mighty in heaven’s Strength
that You choose to reveal Yourself to men
that You reach out to write Your signature
in the beauty of nature
in the roaring waves and the startling vibrancy of sunset hues
in the wind-swaying branches and flower-carpeted hills
in the deep speaking of Spirit
a food too filling for this fleshly shell
who am I to consider You on Your throne
who am I to yet attempt meditation of Your ways
to try to fathom the expanse of Your thoughts
i cannot even begin to know You
and yet the mere grain-sized grasp i hold
is more than enough to cause me
to face on the ground
…humbled
i worship in the poverty of my spirit
and Your heavy hand
bows me down with Your greatness
and You touch me
Your favor
all grace
i am blessed
