Two Worlds Meet

A baby cries, but no one is there

A child is hungry -- does anyone care

 

Just hours before -- we boarded a plane

We were surrounded by poverty and all of its pain

 

I was walking through the village and saying good bye

When a young man grabbed my arm and took me to meet his family inside

 

I held their 2 babies and spoke with his wife

This is not what they chose—but this was their life

 

A one room hut made of mud and dirt for a floor

Half a bag of sugar, some flour-- and nothing more

 

Tears filled his eyes—as he spoke so sincere

Please don’t forget about us-- and tell them of the needs that are here

 

I know what you are thinking because I used to think the same

Why is that man not working—He is to blame

 

Here are the facts, the way it has always been

He cannot get a job because of the color of his skin

 

It is much easier to look away and pretend it doesn’t exist

But imagine for a moment that you –live in the midst

 

20% of the world has 80% of its wealth

While 80% live on what is left, and most of them live in poor health

 

30,000 children die needlessly each and every day

From lack of food and water—while we waste them away

 

A mother must choose between food for her family and medicine for her spouse

His health worsens, but she is able to provide a little food for the children in her house

 

I am sorry Lord, to ask why, but I am just trying to make sense of what I see

Why some live in great excess and others in extreme poverty

 

Your Word says, "To whom much is given much is required",  

Over 300 verses command us to help the poor in the Bible You inspired

 

Show us how to make a difference with what we have been given

Give us your heart Lord, and change OUR standard of living

 

The harvest is plentiful; many souls are ready to receive

To call on the name of Jesus,  and to truly believe

 

Give us your eyes, your hands and your heart

Show us what you required and we will do our part

 

When Jesus walked this earth he was filled with compassion and met so many needs

He preached to the sinners, and confronted the religious of their greed’s

 

Why do we work so hard, and our debts grow more and more?

Why do we work so hard, and on earth, our treasures we store?

 

The stuff we accumulate matters not when life has past

For only what is done in the name of Christ will last

 

Please show me your ways as we walk on the path that is narrow

I know we can trust you because you even take care of the sparrow

 

Increase our faith and help our two worlds meet

Crossing all boundaries and one day we will all bow at your feet   

 

"All of these things that each day you see

I am  working together in my Sovereignty

 

You can not understand, for My thoughts are much higher

But it is for MY GLORY  and I am your Supplier."

 

I Praise you MY LORD,  and trust completely in YOU

To fill me each day and LET YOUR GLORY SHINE THROUGH!

 To the precious babies that are abandoned-

Tiny fingers, Tiny face
How did you ever end up in such a place?

Beautiful eyes, deep and dark
On what kind of future will you embark?

Who could leave this beautiful one
So tiny, so helpless- whose life has just begun

Did it break your mother’s heart to leave you alone?
Did she think you would be raised in a better home?

You are so small so frail and so weak
You just lie in your bed, your days seem so bleak

Does anyone rock you and sing you to sleep?
Does anyone tell you you’re special or kiss you cheek?

Does anyone tell you, you are fearfully and wonderfully made?
And all your days were ordained when earth’s foundation was laid?


You are a creation of the Master’s hand
Little one, I know your life has a plan

You are so precious in His sight
So sweet little baby, just hold on tight

May the angels surround you and guard you dear one
And I pray someday you’ll know Jesus, God’s Son.

May someone come in and give you a home
So sweet little baby, you won’t be alone.

Part of a BIGGER plan...

I left behind a world consumed with greed
And entered into a world that is filled with need

A widow in - a one room shack
Mourning for her husband that is not coming back

Her provider, her companion - for life
Hoping for the best when she became his wife

Now she is alone, her life filled with despair
Does she not know, - Jesus is there?

Eight dirty faces, their eyes filled with wonder
Their bellies are empty, growling with
hunger

Their mother is ill, their father tries to cope
No work to be found, but he won’t give up hope

In the midst of the poverty-God has a plan
He uses each of us as His feet and hands

A helpless baby left all alone
A cold metal bed is now her home

No one comes or seems to care
A volunteer picks her up-so much love to share

“Jesus loves you” ,is what they sing
Knowing the only hope - is what He will bring

I say to the Lord, “What can I do, for I am just one
So may needs- so much to be done”

“I know, my child”, He whispers to me,
“You are part of a bigger plan that you can not see.”

“This world you are in, is a temporary place
To know Me- To love Me- and minister My Grace

To obey is better than sacrifice- I require your all
My Glory will shine through the big and the small

To whom much is given- much is required
Of this well doing may you never grow tired.”

 Often times, we are afraid to say "Here am I LORD, send me"..because we fear the worst; being sent to an "undesirable" country, fear of inadequacy,and the list goes on... Often times we even try to "barter" with God. Often times HE is not calling you across the world, but maybe just across the street. So here is a little "poem" about that very thing...Here am I Lord, send someone else!

Here am I Lord-but I don’t want to go
I know I should, but I’m just not gung-ho

There’s someone better; I would not qualify
I can not do it-- and that’s my alibi

That job is too big for me to do
You’ll send me to Africa, China, or Peru

Here am I Lord, but send some one else, please
That country is poor and filled with disease

What would I do- I have little skill
Don’t get angry, Lord, I want to do Your will

But can I just stay and do it from home?
Please don’t move me from my comfort zone!

I’ll be a very good witness and tithe every week
Don’t ask me to go to a country so bleak

Yes-Here am I Lord- “Have thine own way”
But I’m not quite ready…but maybe someday

Even though I know my answer should be
I can’t quite say, “here am I, Lord—Send me.

S.H.A.P.E.

With Great expectation I serve you my LORD
Knowing you Jesus, is the Greatest Reward.

I surrender my life, you’re in my heart
It is all yours, each and every part.

I hunger for you with a deep ache of soul
Only you, my LORD, can make me full.

May my attitude be a reflection of you through and through
May You receive glory, in all that I do.

Protect the time that is ours to spend together
I can’t wait until the day, we are together forever.

With great expectation I wait on You
Marveling at all of the wonders you do.

To know you more is my heart’s desire
Direct me and show me what you require.

Your Grace is immeasurable, your mercy divine
Have your own way in this life of mine.

Empty me of self, Lord I am yours to fill.
Take my life, and do with it what you will.
