This castle,
so small,
not good enough,
water boarded walls.
I'm afraid they will come tumbling down and fall.
But even when they do,
the Creator's hands pull the pieces together,
stronger walls,
stronger hearts,
larger moats to break the waves apart
With every grain of sand falling through the cracks in my hands,
I never saw how much they needed each other
to build up from the water to create new land.
Built by the Father,
with craftsmanship so clever,
every tiny grain pressed down and molded together,
love became the glue that held us forever.
No storm could overtake us,
we stood boldly amidst the violent weather.
You made me important, You formed me with greater worth,
You knew me from the start,
and You saw greatness before we saw birth.
Beautiful, oh beautiful,
in everyway that’s what you are.
My faith,
as small as a mustard seed.
If I lift these hands to You, will You lift this weight from me?
