We met you
Tune: Seven days

 

We met you, God, on Monday, when you made the light
And called the brightness daytime and the darkness night.
We stumbled when the light grew dim and floundered through the day
And almost missed the voice which called,

“I AM THE WAY”.

 

We met you, God, on Tuesday graced by sea and sky,
In mystery unfathomed and delight so high.
The poles of pain and passion we discovered in our youth
And almost missed the voice which called,
”I AM THE TRUTH”.

 

We met you, God, on Wednesday when the land gave birth
To fruit and flower and grain and grass all sprung from earth.
We misused nature’s kindness, turned beauty into strife
And almost missed the voice which called,
”I AM THE LIFE”.

 

We met you, God, on Thursday in the stars and sun,
Where skill and will and science found a race to run.
We built our space invaders to threaten all we knew
And almost missed the voice which called,
”I’VE CHOSEN YOU”.

 

  We met you, God, on Friday making creatures move,
Declaring birds and beasts and fish are gifts of love.
We heard the tale of sheep and goats, the lamb hung on the tree
And almost missed the voice which called,
”COME, FOLLOW ME”.

 

 We met you, Lord, on Saturday when, in your mold,
Both men and women walked and worked, grew wise and old.
We thought your image good enough to engineer its end
And almost missed the voice which called.
”YOU ARE MY FRIEND”.

 

We meet you, Lord, on Sunday when you take a rest
As we attempt to hide our worst and show our best.
We fail and wonder what to do till, faced with bread and wine,
We hear the words, “THESE ARE FOR YOU
AND YOU ARE MINE”.
