Thy Will Be Done
Not in the thunder, nor the earthquake's might, Nor in the star that pierces through the night, But in the stillness of a yielded soul, You turn our fractured pieces into whole.
Let it be done on earth, this whispered plea, As in Your heaven,where all is harmony. Where ceaseless worship is the air they breathe, And no shadow of doubt or death can wreathe.
"Your kingdom come," the first and longing cry, Then, "Your will be done," beneath this same sky. On earth as there, a mirror of Your grace, Until we see You, face to glorious face.
Let it be in the kind word, gently spoken, In bonds of bitterness,now healed and broken. In soil that yields its goodness to the seed, In tending to the other's deepest need.
Let it be in the heart that learns to trust, When all it planned is crumbled into dust. To say with Him who prayed in deepest night, "Not my will, Yours," embracing Your greater light.
For You have promised what the eye has not seen, A glory yet to be,where You have been. A coming day when every tear is dried, And we are fully satisfied,unified.
So let Your will be done in me, I pray, A living testament to Your kind sway. A little heaven on this earthly ground, Until in Your eternal peace we're drowned.

Key Scriptures Referenced:
· Matthew 6:10 (The Lord's Prayer): "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This is the central verse that inspires the entire poem.
· Luke 22:42 (Jesus in Gethsemane): "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." This is the ultimate model of surrender to God's will, even in suffering.
· 1 Corinthians 2:9: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" — the things God has prepared for those who love him." This speaks to the glorious, unknowable future God has planned, which fuels our trust in His will.
· Revelation 21:4 (The picture of heaven): "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." This describes the perfect harmony of heaven that we pray would be reflected on earth.
