Lord, our God,

You give us

The sweet taste

Of your glory



But we quickly drown it

With the bitterness of coffee



You fill us

With the bread

Of heaven



But we are still greedy

For the substance of earthly food



You enrich our sight

With glorious visions

Of your majesty



But we turn our eyes away

Dazzled by your light



You invite us

To your kingdom

Drawing us into yourself



But we draw away

Afraid to be confronted by your reality.
