It’s Not Up To Me

It’s not up to me

To save a soul

To take their sins

And make them whole

But it is up to me

To tell them of Christ

So That they can accept Him

And change their lives

 

It’s not up to me

To heal the sick

To take their pain

And help them live

But it is up to me

To help them see

The one who heals

And dries their tears

 

My task is to tell them of Jesus

And the wonders He’s done for me

To open their eyes to the light of His love

So that they will truly believe

 

It’s not up to me

To convict of sin

To judge the lost

And purify them

But it is up to me

To witness each day

Of the love of Christ

And to pray and pray

 

It’s not up to me

To look down on them

Or to think I’m better

Because I have Him

But it is up to me

To love them with all

My heart must go out

To both big and small

 

My task is to tell them of Jesus

And the wonders He’s done for me

To open their eyes to the light of His love

So that they will truly believe

 

For I do not know what tomorrow brings

It just might be their last day

I need to tell them of Jesus

And pray, and pray, and pray

Touch The Lord

I see the Lord

Most every day

He’s right beside me

As I pray

He walks with me

Along the way

He’s everywhere I go

 

When I see someone

Steeped in pain

I see the Lord

Inside of Him

I go and pray

That health would win

And I have touched my Lord

 

If someone’s feeble

In their home

And I go visit

When their alone

They brighten up

That someone comes

And I have touched my Lord

 

Jesus said that when we touch

One of His children, him we touch

He asks us to go out of our way

To make a difference in the world today

 

If one’s in prison

For their crime

And I go visit

And give my time

It cheers them up

They glad I came

And I have touched my Lord

 

Do you see Jesus

As you walk

In other people

In the park

He’s right there

Inside their heart

Waiting for a touch

 

Open your eyes

To others needs

And soon you’ll see

Their needs are real

It’s up to you

To help them heal

Your time to touch the Lord

Proceed With Caution

I  used to never be careful

About what I said or did

I just had fun and I partied

And most of my life was hid

 

But then I made Jesus my Savior

And He asked much more of me

He asked me to be His disciple

And live a life for His glory

 

So I put aside all of the parties

And I watched every word that I said

I wanted to glorify Jesus

And not bring reproach to His name

 

Now I know it’s hard to be perfect

In all that we say and do

So I will proceed with caution

As I witness to  all the world

 

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Careful

Sharing Grace

My hometown is real pretty

With streets set up in squares

And it’s easy to walk through

With sidewalks everywhere

 

I kius happened to be walking

Down a sidewalk yesterday

When I meet a man that limped

And was obviously in pain

 

I asked if I could pray for Him

That God would Heal his leg

He told me that would be great

So I took His hand and prayed

 

I saw a tear come down his face

As I finished up my words

He said thank you so  very much

I know your prayer was heard

 

We went out on our merry way

A smile broke on our face

A joy filled up my peaceful heart

I was glad I shared His grace

 

In response to the daily prompt Sidewalk

Have You Seen the Lord?

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

 

There was that beggar who asked you for bread

You walked on by, hanging your head

You had the money to spare him a dime

But you did not want to take the time

 

You passed by a lame man trying to walk

Your spirit said help him, but the flesh just balked

You watched as he fell and tried to get up

But you did not want to stay and get stuck

 

Then there’s that girl who asked you the time

She said she was late, but you drove on by

You were going her way with plenty of room

But you were afraid she would do harm to you

 

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

 

Jesus said even when I do it for them

It is the same as I’d done it for Him

If I’d look in their eyes, I’d see my Lord

As He asks me to help His floundering child

 

When will I learn to reach out in faith

And help those in need when they pass by my way

God showed me His mercy when I was so lost

Now I must reach out and help His dear cause

 

Every day we’d see the Lord if we’d look

Every day we can do what he says in His book

Every day we can show grace to meet needs

Every day we must reach out and believe

 

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

Now I Can See

I can see, I can see said the blind man

As he wiped the mud out of His eyes

He’d been touched by a man whom he did not know

And His sight was now fully realized

He cried where is the man who touched me?

Jesus came up and stood by him

He said I am the one who brought back your sight

Will you now give witness to me?

 

The man looked at Jesus and smiled

He said surely I’ll ell the whole world

Because I was just blind and now I can see

Just help me to speak the right words

Jesus told him to just tell his story

Of how he’d received his sight

And the man went his way as a witness for Christ

Sharing with all of his might.

Go

I heard God Calling

In a voice sweet and low

He said “Child, you are ready

It’s time that you go

You’ve studied and prayed

That the harvest would come

So go out today

And touch everyone.

 

Hope for despair

Joy for their sorrow

Peace in the storms

Through all their tomorrows

 

Deliver the captive

Give sight to the blind

Bind up the demons

And cast them aside

 

Cleansing for lepers

Words for the dumb

Strength for their weakness

Heal everyone

 

Faith for the doubters

Forgive all their sin

Calm down their minds

Bring solace within

 

On top of all that

Show mercy each day

Give them my love

Teach them my ways

 

And treat everyone

With unrestrained grace

Never be harsh

Fill them with praise

 

And when you have done

All the things I have said

Then people will listen

And souls will be saved”

Tell Them

Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low

He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.

It’s really not a secret.  It’s written in my book.

But there are way too many who never take a look.”

 

I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone

This world is so enormous.  I’d never get it done

He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there

And one by one you will surely make this world aware.

 

So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out

I’ll speak it in the marketplace.  I’ll travel all about.

Just let me know the words that I should share today”

And then I heard His gentle voice say

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me

This world is very skeptical because of what they see

The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day

There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know

Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show

The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell

Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell

 

He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field

The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real

To tell them of this love I have for every single one

I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”

 

Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough

I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love

That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away

That message is more powerful than any words I say

 

I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love

I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above

You sent your Son to take their place

They’re covered by your endless grace

I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”

Life is Not a Game

We hear familiar music on the TV every day

Of a game show that so many love to play

People wager what they’ve won as they try to guess the clues

And every time they answer they’re in jeopordy to lose

 

It’s fun to play along on this trivial pursuit

In fact the board games really are a hoot

Simple fun can be a way to come together with your friends

And create a bond that opens up a door to let you in

 

So take advantage of those times when gathering together

And find out if their lives are jeopardized forever

Or if they have met Jesus and are now bound up for heaven

Please don’t let that moment pass you by.
