This is Me: Finding My Voice

Yes, the world is dark-
Yes, hope can seem futile

But what if we chose to keep on believing
not in people, or government, but in Yahweh

Yes, sin has made the world fractured-
In ways that we understand and can’t
But the world has always been impacted by sin
The only constant has been God’s goodness

The same God that has been there when all the empires have fallen
is the same one who was there when new countries risen.
Who was there before our first breath
And will be there for our last

Who has seen genocides start and end
but has also seen marriages start and newborns born

So instead of sitting in darkness
wondering why us
wondering how much longer

What if we sit with God
and not only wait on him
but be the change

What if instead of waiting to die to get to heaven
we bring heaven to Earth

What if instead of letting the world take our seasoning
we stand tall in us being the salt of the world?

We let our light shine bright because we place our hope in something greater.

Hmm. What if?
