Read Hebrews 11
God who promises an eternal city,
The ancients walked in faith.
They saw beyond the visible.
They hoped for a better country.
Abraham, Moses, Joseph,
And countless others never saw
What they’d been promised.
And we, today, O God,
Go by what we see,
Rather than what we might hear.
Even Bibles now have pictures.
Verses on the internet
Have to show an image.
We’re deaf and, truly, blind.
Open my ears, O Lord,
That I might hear your Word.
Turn my sight away
From colors that excite,
To simple black and white.
Focus my heart to delight
In words of power from Heaven,
Where you in glory rule.
In Christ, I pray, Amen.
