Our lives here only
a foretaste of the banquet
seeking heaven
all of our days
All of us clay
still yet unfinished
more molding still
by the hands of our God
Not yet ready
through using my vessel
trying to follow
the way of servanthood
Each us of called
to live as our savior
humbly submitting
to the will of our God
