This morning in church, a song was shared during special music. I was moved by the lyrics — I found them to be powerful, and yet a gentle reminder to continually seek to be more like Christ. I’ve always thought of myself to be a sensitive and compassionate person. However, my desire is to not only be sensitive to the those in need, but also aware of the unspoken need or hurt. People sometimes find it difficult to share their confusion, their financial hurts, their loneliness with those around them. I pray that I would be more aware when the Lord is tugging at my heart to pray for someone, send a ‘just because’ card or bless in some other way. The mind of Christ, my highest goal! Thank you, Lord, for this gentle reminder this morning. Be blessed and inspired, friends!!
Not Too Far fom Here (lyrics as sung by Hilary Weeks)
Somebody’s down to their last dime
Somebody’s running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody’s got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
And I may not know their name
But I’m praying just the same
That You’ll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
Cause somebody’s crying
Not too far from here
Somebody’s troubled and confused
Somebody’s got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody’s forgotten how to trust
Somebody’s dying for love
Not too far from here
It may be a stranger’s face
But I’m praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
Cause somebody’s hurting
Not too far from here
Help me Lord not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep
Somebody’s troubled and confused
Somebody’s got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody’s forgotten how to trust
And somebody’s dying for love
Not too far from here
Now I’m letting down my guard
And I’m opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needlful ear
Someone is waiting not too far from here
Someone is waiting not too far from here
