Last week at Church I had a great reminder (thank you Megan Fate Marshman) that when you dare to do something great – no matter what your scale of greatness – it can be easy to forget Who it is that’s actually Great. I doubt I’m alone in needing this reminder, especially among those daring to tap into The Creative and The Creator.
I heard a song in the wind,
And so I sang it out.
This song is great,
They said.
I lived a story,
And so I wrote it down.
This story is great,
They said.
I saw a picture,
And so I painted it.
This picture is great,
They said.
And as they said
This song is great
This story is great
This picture is great
I thought
I must learn to be great, too
But I am not great
I got lost
And lonely
And quite sad
Trying to be great
You see,
The song I sung was composed by another
The story I wrote was crafted by another
The picture I painted was designed by another
When they said
This song is great
This story is great
This picture is great
They were speaking of His work, not mine
I just forgot
I am not great
But I get to sing His songs
I get to write His stories
I get to paint His pictures
And those are great
Because He is great
