We despise the day of small things
And hold the slow things in contempt.
Looking for joy when our phone dings,
Trading our mansions for a tent.
Never rich, smart, famous enough,
Never present in the present.
Yet we’re God’s diamonds in the rough.
He shows heaven in a small thing,
Even cold water in a cup.
So we slow down and simply bring
The small things. We offer them up
As gifts of our generous King.
