Dust
Embracing Divine Love: Steffany Gretzinger's Anthem of Dependence
Lyrics
I am dust, You are God
I recognize my insignificance ("dust") compared to the divine ("You are God").
For I am breathless till You fill my lungs
My life lacks fulfillment until I experience your presence ("breathless till You fill my lungs").
I'm in need, You're enough
I acknowledge my neediness, and you are more than sufficient to meet my needs ("I'm in need, You're enough").
I am helpless till You pick me up
I am vulnerable and dependent on your support and guidance ("I am helpless till You pick me up").
I am depending on Love
I rely on the power of love, especially the promise you've made to us.
The hope of Your promise to us
Hope arises from your promises, assuring us that we are your cherished children.
That we are Your daughters and sons
We are identified as your offspring, and you nurture us with care ("daughters and sons").
And gently You're fathering us
You actively fulfill the role of a loving father, guiding and supporting us gently.
You're under my skin, You're in my bones
Your presence is deeply ingrained in me ("under my skin, in my bones").
I can't outrun You no matter where I go
I cannot escape or avoid your influence, no matter where I go.
You're not frail, You won't break
You are not fragile or easily broken; you are resilient and enduring.
You are the life inside everything You've made
You are the life force within everything you have created.
I am depending on Love
Love is the foundation of my reliance, and I trust in its transformative power.
The hope of Your promise to us
The promise of hope, rooted in love, sustains and guides us.
That we are Your daughters and sons
We are acknowledged as your children, and you tenderly care for us.
And gently You're fathering us
Your parenting is characterized by gentleness and compassion.
Where else would I go?
I have no alternative place to turn to; you are my true home.
I'm already home
I realize that I am already in the comforting presence of home.
'Cause there's no separating us
There is an inseparable connection between us; nothing can sever our bond.
I can't get away from Love
Love is inescapable, and I cannot distance myself from it.
There's no separating us
Our connection is unbreakable, and love binds us together.
I can't get away from Love!
Love is a constant presence that I cannot avoid or evade.
I am depending on Love
I rely on the enduring power of love as a foundation for my existence.
The hope of Your promise to us
The promise of hope, anchored in love, is a guiding force for us.
That we are Your daughters and sons
We are recognized as your cherished offspring, and you nurture us with care.
And gently You're fathering us
Your guidance as a father is characterized by gentleness and compassion.
