Give new signs and work new wonders; – Sir 36:6
“Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Mk 10:43-45
when i was a child of little faith
i asked for signs and works of wonder
you obliged with a world full of splendor
my life brims with the signs of your love
you were the god of my making
then you came and called me your own
while i sat enthralled at your feet
you taught me to love and to serve
you performed many signs of wonder
yet when i asked you to perform
only one sign to save your life
you refused and gave up your life
what kind of a god dies?
what kind of a god serves?
are you not a god of my making?
performing signs to prop up my little faith
or am i a wonder of your making?
created in your image and likeness
endowed with intellect to know
wisdom to understand
courage to love
free will to choose
to serve or be served
to follow or be followed
but you are a god hard to follow
you are not a god of my making
