Epiphany

We spend our days and many nights
defending wrongs, demanding rights,
seeking pleasure and seeking fame
or seeking someone else to blame..

Month to month and week to week
all these things we dearly seek,
but how blessed our life would be
to seek out an epiphany..

Oh Christ to You we humbly call
and lift You up as Lord of all.
Let all we say and think and do
have a different point of view..

Give us ears to hear Your voice,
let our hearts and souls rejoice,
and grant us eyes to clearly see-
You as our epiphany!

Epiphany- (1) : a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something (2) : an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking (3) : an illuminating discovery or realization.

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
