Projected Loss
What are you afraid you’ll lose
If you continue on, or choose
To look around this world you’re in
With earthly eyes, with eyes of sin?O Lord, so terrified I’ve been
I could not cope – could not begin
To live that out – my hope’s in You
Help me to act as one of You.Your word, O Lord, about past faith’s,
So much like mine as I awake
And face this day – no shining star,
But rather grope for where You are.I thank You Lord, that I can play
Some role in helping him today;
Please guide my hand, alert to my heart
To do Your will, through work of art.You say, O Lord, “I’ll give you words;
Write each one down as best you’ve heard,
For others need such words of grace
Expressed in ways which fit their case.It’s giver-land you’re in today;
As giver you’ll finance his way
Into a world designed for him –
With righteousness – the way he’ll win.Lord what about that little shop?
What should I add to what he’s got?
“He needs a place to move his wares,
Expression of a heart which cares.“A place where other folks can work;
Take concepts learned, where spirits lurk
From strongholds built to keep him in;
Help them succeed – help others win”.navigation
