College poem #14

“Barefoot before the Lord”

Lord, so often we let pride prevent us from doing what we know
To be right. Yet in Your presence, humility is what we should show.
The Earth and all that is in it is yours, every sight, smell, taste and sound.
When You meet us in the place where we are, Your perfect presence makes it holy ground.
Just like Moses at the burning bush, You meet us here and now
With the same awesome power that causes us to You our faces bow.
I pray that we would never tire of the awesome way that You touch us
As we choose to follow in Your steps and You with Your Holy Spirit fill us.
May we remain humble before You, O God,
And may we live always to bring You laud.
