Seeking the Better

Once we settled for what we saw,
Giving that glory, exclaiming with awe
The wonder of creation--
Stars in the firmament, earth, and seas--
All did amaze, astound, and please.
Until the Spirit of God began to do a work in the heart of man,
Bringing life within by the Divine plan.
Now the Creator behind the creation was observed,
As were light and life in the Bible, His Word.
Repentance in response to His initiative
Brought and brings hunger for better things,
Things of the Lord who lived a holy life to die
For sinners such as I.
Now my goal is His pleasure,
The One who gave and gives grace without measure.
