The Ocean



I stand on the beach, my toes in the sand,
Looking out to the depths of the sea,
Of the ocean that's You, the wonder of You,
And the nothing at all that is me.

The wind and the waves foam with Your rage,
But the birds are still fed by your love.
And I stand under the weight of Your glorious strength,
Drowning, but not getting enough.

I look up to the sky; You are in the clouds,
The sun and the moon and the stars.
And I let myself sink in the ocean of You,
Seeking the wonder You are.
