The Broken Soul
They frowned upon the poor man who was begging for their prayer
And asking for some little gift to show that they might care
They saw him torn and tattered in his dirt and filth and grime
Not worthy of a penny let alone a moment's time
But One Who looked beyond the filth to see what lay within
To see what made the heart of him who suffered in his sin
Was able to observe the past that others could not see
And also see what might be done to change adversity
That held this man in bondage to his helpless begging ways
That left him mostly hopeless as he passed his empty days
That offered less than nothing in comparison to those
Who freely walked about him in their clean and proper clothes
For in him was a person once a leader among men
A stranger to misfortune 'til he fell to selfish sin
Abusing mind and body by the spirit's he partook
That lay within the battle not observed in just one look
But all the same so evil in their subtle sneaky ways
For which the one imbibing in the end so often pays
First slowly without notice 'til they take their full control
And bring complete disaster that destroys the poor lost soul
And when He looked upon him not a penny did He give
But took him to a diner for the food that makes one live
And there taught him the lesson he was needing most to know
That God still sees the harvest that He's making now to grow
In those who learn about Him through the goodness in the heart
Of those who take time with Him every morning as their part
Of building up His Kingdom through the things they say and do
That take the poor and broken making them the rich and new
Through showing them the gospel through the love they share with them
The Way God shared the gospel when He shared His all through Him
He placed within a tiny stall and nailed upon the cross
To build His Kingdom of the ones who once were blind and lost
For really when we see the world the way the Saviour did
And see the ones who try to keep their tattered being hid
The way the Saviour saw and touch them where they need the most
Are we not being Christ to them by His loving Holy Ghost
Matthew 25:31-46; James 2:14-18
