With what shall I

  come before the LORD,

and bow myself

  before God on high?

...He has told you, O man,

what is good,

and what does the LORD

    require of you

but to do justice,

and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly

    with your God.

             Micah6. 6,8

(With what do I worship

     the LORD Almighty?

With what do I approach

     people in my life,

     this difficult situation,

     the cavernous potholes,

this I-have-no-idea-

          what-to-do?

Do that which is good,

right, loving, gracious,

  and totally unexpected.

It is not just what

               we are doing,

but what it is doing

       to our own hearts.

Grace gets indelibly over

          everyone.)

O LORD,

When we trudge

    through the miry bogs,

when we fall

    on uneven pavement,

when we sit in darkness,

You are our light,

You lift us up,

You heal our wounds,

You show us not just

     the way through,

but into a closer

      intimacy with You.

Help us to walk with You,

to run with You,

to rejoice even on the ascents.

Be glorified, O LORD,

     in our very steps.
