Decision

When will we decide, God
to let You out of the box we've placed you in?
We think we know you so intimately
but in reality we do not know you at all
We call you, "Everlasting, Unconditional love,"
yet we manipulate those made in your image with selfish desires
You are "Lord of Lords and King of Kings,"
but in our lives, we give you no authority.
We say you are "Creator of all that is good,"
only to abuse the good creation you have given us.
We call you "Immanuel, Always with us,"
yet our daily lives ignore you presence.

Help me Lord,
to let you out of the box I've put you in
To surrender control and know you more,
so my life may reflect who I claim you are
and be a fragrant offering pleasing to you
