We spend a lifetime hunting for the keystone
To happiness, and what defines "success"
And yet we're born with all that we require
The precious gifts and talents we possess
Long before the earth and heavens spiraled
The Lord had given number to our breaths
And all that we would be and ever realize
Was ordered in our birth, unto our deaths
Still, we're creatures of unique intention
Coursing lives within these fragile shells
Tempering our fate with joys and choices
And the darkness that our effort quells
But life is the true blessing of existence
And appropriating all that we've received
Will give the glory to our Lord and Savior
So bearing witness, as we have believed
And if someday we stand before our Maker
Our lives of faithful service giv'n His Son
He'll bless our ears, as He has blessed our spirits
"You've honored me ... my good and faithful one"
