How do I get there to the other side? Someone is waiting dare I swallow some pride. The lame poor and outcase are falling astray, and they're seeking a leader who will save the day. Peter once a denier of what was sacred and dear, Now offers forgiveness and a welcoming ear. For a royal priesthood, a bridge being built, From the sacred to secular place of no guilt. The sick and dying in hospitals await good news, I go there for Jesus celebrating God's rule. As a part of Christ's body I open my heart, Sharing God's word and prayer is a great place to start. To another world where prisoners are enslaved, I go there for Jesus for a captive to free and save, As a part of Christ's body I open my hand, I share God truth and gift of an awesome plan. I go to the poor who are needy and homeless, I go there for Jesus celebrating God will bless. As a part of Christ's body, I share my feet going where God wants resources replete. To the children says Jesus bring them to me, I go there for Jesus celebrating love that is free. As a part of Christ's body I offer my eyes so others might show a child the wrong from the right. To the world, I say that God has offered a bridge I go there for Jesus so all men might live. As a part of Christ's body, I offer my brain Once you know God one can not be the same. For a Royal Priesthood I offer this food for thought, Know the way to Jesus and be good as you ought. Others are waiting on the other side, looking for a blessing may in you they confide. |
