How Could We Not?


"Is not the Lamb who was slain worthy of the reward of His suffering?"

-Paris Reidhead


You live among the least of these, the weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away
All my needs You have supplied. When I was dead You gave me life
So how could I not give it away so freely?
And I´ll Follow You into the homes of the broken
Follow You into the world
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God
Follow You into the world
Use my hands, use my feet to make Your kingdom come
To the corners of the earth until Your work is done
Faith without works is dead. On the cross Your blood was shed.
So how could we not give it away so freely?
And I'll Follow You into the homes of the broken
Follow You into the world
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God
Follow You into the world

And I give all myself, I give all myself, I give all myself to YOU
And I'll Follow You into the homes of the broken
Follow You into the world
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God


-"Follow You," by Leeland

The Waiter


"It is on God that we should wait, as a waiter waits--not for but on the customer-- alert, watchful, attentive, with no agenda of his own, ready to do whatever is wanted. "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expection is from Him" (Ps. 62:5) In Him alone lie our security, our confidence, our trust. A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace."



-Elisabeth Elliot Quest for Love pg. 163
