You met us here
In this holy place,
Not just with wonder…
But with grace.
You found our fear.
You knew our name.
And somehow…
We’ll never leave
The way we came.
If we’ve truly
Seen Your heart…
Then let our lives
Become…
Your hands.
Let them see You
When they look at me.
More of Your mercy.
Less of me.
Fill every word.
Guide everything I do.
If someone finds hope today…
Let them find You.
Walk beside us
Through every street.
Every stranger.
Every friend we meet.
When love is hardest…
Lead us there.
Make every moment
A whispered prayer.
Not for glory.
Not for praise.
Not for anything
We could claim.
Only Jesus.
Only You.
Living through
The lives
We choose.
Let them see You
When they look at me.
More of Your mercy.
Less of me.
Take this ordinary life Thank You, O Lord…
And make it true. For meeting us here…
If they remember Now let us carry
Anything… Your love
Let them remember You. Out there.
