DECEMBER 13TH | DAVID WENT IN AND SAT
Amy Seidlitz. “Generations.” Sketchbook.
David went in and sat.
Who am I, Lord
that you would invite me
to sit before you?
To be touched by the
ageless current of
your intention?
Who am I, Lord
that your thoughts would
reach my human hearing
and in that graced speaking
would be a word
for me
and my family.
Who am I, Lord?
I come in,
I sit.
My crown slips
and I become the servant
at the feet
of a much mightier king,
whose majesty
ignites my family tree.
Who am I?
I am the Lord’s servant,
and my offspring
will take root inside
your knowing us,
chosen,
for humbled glory.
And our consent
will echo into future
generations,
tied to this memory
and surpassing me
“Oh Lord, let it be.”
