To Live Fearlessly


He rises up above the earth
Seeking the face of God on high,
For he feels closest to the Lord
When sweeping, fierce, across the sky.
And even when he drops to earth
To rest himself for one more try,
He perches high above the world.
Then, without fear, he leaps to fly.
 
How can he live so fearlessly
When I’m bound, timidly, to earth?
He understands, better than I,
We are fearfully made at birth.
He strives to live his life each day
Not seeking comfort, ease and mirth,
But yearning to give back to God
Full measure of his birth’s true worth.
 
Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
