I chose to love

I chose to love When we walked by an older man living at the dumpAnd went over and said hello I chose to love When the man began to cry As he told us of his painHow he hadn’t eaten in three days I chose to loveAs we prayed blessing and healing over over himAnd again, as I felt God calling me to pray once more I chose to loveWhen I fasted and prayed for this man later that day I chose to loveWhen we checked on him two days laterAnd the situation worsened Due to a possible broken rib I chose to loveWhen I got up early to help pick him up from the dumpAnd get him checked...

Heaven’s Heart

This heart doth yearn For what’s up high For something more That’s in the sky.   Upon this earth I don’t belong I yearn for more This feeling’s strong.   I don’t belong Upon this earth For I have now A second birth.   And from this birth My Spirit’s free But my bodies’ trapped I’m stuck in me.   I can’t escape This earth I tread My freedom comes When I am dead.   Until that day I watch and wait When heaven Opens up the gate.   This body here Is slowly dying It’s full of pain And hurt and crying.   God...

It’s Not Easy

It’s not easy, so they say To leave your home and go away To a country you don’t know.   It’s not easy, it is true To speak to those who don’t know you And don’t know what you say.   It’s not easy, it’s no lie To pack it up and say good-bye To ones close to your heart.   It’s not easy, understand To go obey the Lord’s command And leave comfort behind.   But it’s worth it, here we know Nothing greater than to go And give God’s love away.
