A Big Pink Eraser

 

Ascribe to the LORD
  the glory due His name...

          Psalm 96. 8

(It is not just that we should
     give God the credit
  (for what He has done
                      anyway),
but give Him the glory.
We don't need to write
       His name on it,
but erase ours.)

O LORD,
Forgive us for taking the credit
   for what You have done,
the wondrous and marvelous
  workings of Your hand.
Forgive us for calling
  these things coincidence,
  or luck,
  or claiming ownership
           for ourselves.
May we write Your name
  at the top of the paper
  and the top of the day
and live differently
              as a result.
For Your Kingdom.
For Your glory.
In Your name.
