In The Shadow of Christ

Creating God,
maker of mountains and moons
and me,
Sculptor of all I see -- as the sun rises,
so may my spirit rise to meet you,
for I need to be near you,
to hear your voice as you speak
truth into confusions, peace into my frustrations, as you sing your
love song to the world and
worlds beyond.
To walk in your shadow, Christ,
helps me face whatever happens in
this day, sustains me with food for
my spirit, and calls me to grow stronger
in faith, more focused in my
efforts to make a difference in
this world.
Living Water, quench my thirst,
Light Rising over the mountain, I 
am here, ready to walk this day
with you,
in you and you in me.
Amen.
