If only, in this season
Advent coming, that we would remember
that we would truly understand
that we would truly believe
how much we need God
Like the empires before us,
believing in our infallibility
our supremacy,
the superpower of the age
How blind we are, our silos full
our abundance not of our hands
gifts from God alone
our future, our lives
dust, except for the spirit
the indwelling spirit of God
The sacrifice, saving
by our brother the Christ
all of this freely given
by our creator, by God
for us to have, our daily bread
living water, eternal life
None of these, not a wit
the work of our hands
all given so we may live
how much we need God
if only we believed
