Purpose
What have we here about us in this season of distress
So many who have not a hope or will for usefulness
So many who have for so long just focused on their own
While leaving those they needed most at arm's length all alone
For many see the broken as a burden among men
Assuming they are simply those effected most by sin
And seeing them as no one special they should spend time on
They leave them in the wayside with no hope to carry on
But little do they know the blessing they so quickly lose
By holding to distractions that in selfishness they choose
The blessing of God's presence that can make them two as one
If in this burdened broken soul they see the Father's Son
Yes we're told in the scriptures that Christ spoke and we can see “
As you've done unto others you have also done to me”
But do we really focus on just what these scriptures say
As in our blinded hurry we rush quickly through our day
For everywhere around us there are precious souls in need
For which if nothing more we need for them to intercede
Before the throne of glory where our loving God abides
Where Truth and Mercy watch us to see what we will decide
As pulling on our heartstrings by His Spirit in His way
He tries to draw us near them to speak words He'd have us say
To reach out and to touch them so they do not feel unclean
But see in us the Saviour that in others they've not seen
The Saviour Who's not hurried to run off and do His thing
But sees in them the subject for which He is offering
New life and hope for living in a place that's soon to come
Where God's building those mansions to be our eternal home
And where we might be neighbors just next door on Golden Street
Oft walking close together to the Tree of Life to eat
A meal with Christ our Saviour who brought us together here
Together for a purpose that He soon will make quite clear
If only we will listen to His voice when those we see
Become for us the purpose Christ saved us on Calvary
And share with them the bounties of God's grace He's given us
Fulfilling here His purpose as we're faithful to His trust
Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 12
