Disturb Us, Lord...

(A poem i came across.. truly touching...)

Disturb us Lord, When
We are too well pleased with ourselves
When our dreams have come true
Because we dream too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore

Disturb us Lord, When
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the abundance of life;
We have ceased to dream of eternity.
And in our effort to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new heaven to dim.

Disturb us Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your master;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find stars.

We ask you to push back
The horizons of our hopes,
And to push in the future
In strength, courage, hope and love.
