what do you do?

What do you do when ...

You look up to the night sky,

Countless stars across the canvas of space,

Shaped and formed by an unseen hand.

What do you do when ...

You gaze into a baby's eyes,

So perfectly formed and made,

A wondrous miracle in birth.

What do you do when ...

You read of a prophet alone on a mountain,

Through the storm, fire and quake,

A small, quiet voice beckons.

What do you do when ...

You see a child happily at play,

And recall his bedridden, lifeless form,

Trapped in a ward until the Master's touch.

What do you do when ...

You remember past tears, pain and disappointment,

How He lifted you from it all,

Now able to see His hand and plan.

What do you do?

I fall down in awe, plead His grace and mercy,

Questions cease and doubts fade,

Trust begins, hope is renewed,

For I am but clay before Almighty God.
