Let me reflect

Let me reflect
Before I connect
On connections already in place
On the fellowship of His grace
Let me reflect

Let me contemplate

Let me contemplate
How inadequate to call His goodness "great"
For who can such a God rate
Given our human ways to weigh and weight
Let me contemplate

Let me repent

Let me repent
Of time ill-spent
Of expectations wrongly framed
Of not dwelling on Him for whom I'm named
Let me repent

Let me in repentence, contemplation, connection, find
An anchor and a Godward mind,
A mind at peace in focus at rest
Knowing God being known by Him works for true best

Let me rest
