I tasted the promised life,
Making my home there,
Wanting to be noticed by my friends,
Thinking that this was God’s plan,
I forgot my God,
His reminder was quick and effective,
He broke down my self constructed walls,
A divine breath took it all,
Not even the foundations remained.
Now I am prosperous again,
I don’t want to forget why,
To get everything I needed to give it all away,
Riches begin to abound,
Fresh hope courses through my veins,
I delight in every gift,
My God gives to me,
Daily reminders of his faithfulness.
