I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.
(Jeremiah 1:5; NLT).
The dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
(Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
1. At birth,
We all begin
Our lifelong journey
Back to you.
2. Our task:
To serve you, Lord,
In all we think,
And say, and do.
3. Our test:
To live like you,
By loving everyone
We meet.
4. Our goal:
To see your face, Lord,
Touch your hands,
And kiss your feet.
🖤
