My eyes have encompassed all the world Surveying its glory and splendour Civilisations advance Society cultivating cultures Technology, created and innovated By human beings being knowledgeable Expanding capacity, capital, territory In terror, losing identity Working, moving, breathing They cry
“Worthy!” But is this worthy?
My eyes have encompassed all the earth Surveying her beauty, her majesty Mountains, hills, and forests of lush green Beasts and creatures of all shapes and sizes Oceans, seas, rivers, clear blue sky They all seem to cry
“Worthy!” Is there more to this?
My eyes gaze into the heavens Pondering all their mysteries Planets, systems, billions of stars Galaxies upon galaxies lightyears afar
And I hear in the distance Echoes of angels and heavenly hosts Thrones, dominions, powers, rulers Saints and elders around a radiant throne
They all cry “Worthy!”
I bow my head in awe And in silence reflected What the measure of a man is worth In the grand scheme of things Where one exists amidst seven billion Working tirelessly to no end Amid a vast and glorious creation Which will all draw to an end
Am I worthy?
And I hear in the distance The one called Worthy seated on the throne Calls out to me
“From the dust have I fashioned you Formed you into My image From the lowliest estate have I given you Heavenly heritage My child Once an outsider, an enemy have I bought you with my shed blood.
You are made worthy For I am Worthy As with all who are Mine.
So define not your worth on futile things Or others who lack the clarity to see You are worthy As I am Worthy
Worry not your worth Which is found only in Me”.
On the worth we place on the world, and on ourselves.
