MOSAIC

Snippet

Every human activity, except sin, can be done for God’s pleasure if you do it with an attitude of praise. You can wash dishes, repair a machine, sell a product, write  a computer program, grow a crop, and raise a family for the glory of God. The Purpose Driven Life 2002 Zondervan Rick Warren  pg 74

Scripture

I am your creator.  You were in my care even before you were born.  Isaiah 44:2 CEV

Carve my name upon a tree

A knife into the bark

Trying to make a mark

So they’d remember me

Wanting to matter to someone

Maybe a reason why

Be the apple of an eye

Before my life is done

(and all I am sayin)

I’m in a place where

(all I’m prayin)

I see my face in

(Your mosaic)

And I am a piece

In the deal

And it is real

Tell me who it is you see

A little piece of colored stone

And placed here on it’s own

To me a mystery

So many grains of sand

Could they be all the same

Or would each see their name

Engraved upon your hand?

(and all I am sayin)

I’m in a place where

(all I’m prayin)

I see my face in

(Your mosaic)

And I am a piece

In the deal

And it is real

I catch a glimpse of

Your lovely ideal

And that can be enough

That can be enough

(and all I am sayin)

I’m in a place where

(all I’m prayin)

I see my face in

(Your mosaic)

You are a piece

With the deal

And it is sealed

It is sealed.

Sentence Prayer

Lord, Teach us the power of a generosity that interrupts the logic of scarcity with the extravagant self giving of divine love. Amen
