A Poem: God, Thank You

Joy is a moment in time
Overflowing and everlasting
Creating and growing
Moving and shaping our world for creation
The building blocks, the fortress
for our salvation

As we wander the earth
Joy gives us direction
We seek happiness
When joy is all we need

Created to create
Birthed to follow the direction
of the most high
Aiming for the goal
Aiming for the light

God has moved us from obscurity
To power and dominion
We walk steadfast to glory
Steadfast towards the calling
Steadfast in love, cultivating joy

Who are we that you are mindful of us
Who are we that you have made us strong
Who are we?
Children of the most high God
Creations of the great creator
Walking in abundance and light

Speaking words of wisdom
Passed down from the heavens
We breathe in the knowledge of you
We hold fast to your spirit
It resonates within us
Calling us by name
We breathe it in
Exhale your goodness
For all to feel and share

You have dominated the clouds
that try to take us over
Shifted the minds of the most unknowing
You’ve protected us and grown us
So we are forever thankful

Thankful to the most high
For your wisdom and grace
Thank you for displaying your power
Thank you for giving us the same

There’s power in peace
Power in love
Power in joy

And we will resonate the sound of your goodness
Throughout the land that we call home
We will live for you
Shine for you
As you call us by name
We are thankful oh God
We are grateful
For you
Amen
