Do you dance in the heavens
over your children's praises?
Do you weep with those
who are incarcerated?
Do you gently lift each scraped knee,
in order to kiss it lovingly?
Do you mend each broken heart
with the joy that's in yours?
Do you dance in the heavens,
or on earth here with us?
Will you teach us the steps you know?
The rhythm of each day
so that as time goes on
it's passed in a dance with you.
God, that's our heart.
To dance with you each and every day.
To know you in all your ways.
To know you in sadness and in joy.
And to dance your steps through it all.

God is awesome. He's larger than the universe and calls the stars by name. He designed them and calls them out one by one. He's beyond them and us, so much larger than we can imagine. He doesn't just fill the universe with His presence, He's beyond it. So much larger than we can ever imagine. So much more powerful, beautiful, holy and pleasing. He is love, and love in abundance. He is power, more power than imaginable. He is just, more than we can ever know. He is holy. Yet He chooses to let His eyes rest upon us, His hand upon our hearts, run our hairs through His fingers as He counts each one. The depths of our hearts are in His hand as much as the depths of the oceans. He knit us together, He calls us by name, He knows us in and out, and He loves us still the same. We are part of His creation in a completely unique way and yet He chooses to lavish His love upon us and call us by His Name. He has planted within us His word of life and care and He watches over it to grow it and fulfill it. We have the life within us, that powerful word that He has spoken over us is within us. He dwells within us.

The world a mess to see
from the eyes of the one who loves
evil and wickedness abound outright
before the love which overflows.
The world has yet to see me.
The love I hold the world yet in
even among all the forgetfulness of me
will be made known to man once again
when my people turn to me.
I will show myself to be pure and holy
One to be sought and one to be loved
One to be found; the one who is above
and the world will know
the love I hold
towards them
when they choose to turn to me.
