today i was poking around some design sites and found a cool shirt design title, “Disturb Us, Lord”. this of course stirred my curiosity and found out the designer based the design on this poem:
“Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves
When our dreams have come true
Because we dreamed 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 Waters of Life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts 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 mastery:
Where losing sight of land
We shall find the stars.
We ask you to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push us in the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.”
attributed – sir francis drake -1577
had to share that with you, whoever you are. may God disturb us and push back the horizon of our hopes.
you can find the shirt design and actually buy the shirt here
