Empathy caring love and compassion

The stuff that Jesus made plain

Proposing the cure for finger pointing

Or withholding for personal gain 

 

And if money’s where the heart is

Ones sure to fall down hard

Cuz soon we’ll all be penniless

And just holding on to God

 

The great equalizer strikes at the end

Though sometimes he comes even sooner

And when ones left with nothing to hold 

Life never has seemed harder

 

But it’s then that we can know

That the best things in life are free

And the present that makes this life a gift?

Involves a world much bigger than “me”

 

A tenderness shown through understanding

Sent down from heaven above

It’s then that we can truly know

It’s here that there is love

GO

 

Please- I ask of you don’t judge

If an understanding of me is lacking

For my ears and your ears are different

I hear what of me- God is asking

 

The first time I thought I heard

“All you have to do is ask”

Despondent I asked for help

Get through a disparaging task

 

The next time He said “I need you to Go”

Family & friends thought we were crazy

We headed off to parts unknown

The trail ahead He was blazing

 

One time I heard “Just wait stand still”

Through hard circumstances I’d understand

My role in God’s great big picture

He definitely had here a plan…

 

Right now He has asked me to listen

Though His voice I don’t always hear

Especially when hurrying and scurrying

Like on Friday when that deadline is near

 

I  just love to follow that voice

I recon again He’ll say go

So I’m packing my bags up early

Where we’ll end up- I never know!
