Do Something!

My dear friend Chuck Summers sent me a couple of contemporary  Christian music CDs , thank you Chuck, very kind of you!  This morning while doing my,  “Honey-Do” list I was listening to one and song came on the I really liked and wanted to share.  The song title is Do Something and the lyrics are below;

I woke up this morning
Saw a world full of trouble now
Thought, how’d we ever get so far down
How’s it ever gonna turn around

So I turned my eyes to Heaven
I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”
Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of
People living in poverty

Children sold into slavery
The thought disgusted me
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”

He said, “I did, I created you”

Chorus:
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do something

It brings to mind the purpose for believers in the world.  If the world needs more forgiveness, it’s  our job to offer it.  More compassion?  Up to us!  More grace? We can be the source!  That is why he created us, and when we accepted His forgiveness this is our marching orders!  To live in His power and offer His gifts.

Belive in Him and have faith in His love.

Share His love and have faith in others.

Care for the sick,  Visit those in prison, pray for the weak, feed the poor, bring hope to the hopeless.  Love  the unloved.  What better time of the year than now to remember our Saviours birth in a truly meaningful way, and love others as He loved them!

Merry Chrismtas,
