A Part of the Solution

A PART OF THE SOLUTION We have many ministries at Heritage Baptist Church; For willing, faithful workers we’re always on the search. For we have many challenges within our ministry; A part of the solution each worker here can be. We have so many people we can bring in on a bus, And so we have the drivers to bring them here to us. We have the willing workers who Saturday will go, And ride on Sunday with them, their care and love they show. We have a good mechanic to help us with repairs; He’s one we oft depend on, and he is always there. We have some special people challenged by handicaps; The Gems and Jewels workers have filled that need and gap. And what about the “rejects”--the drunks and druggies, too? We know they need the Savior, and so there is R. U. We have some folks to counsel, to help them on the way; Perhaps we’ll build a home where they can live in some day. And how about Sunday morning--those kids who fill the aisles-- We have some special teachers who greet them with a smile. And then we have some widows--oh, what a special place We’ve given to these women we call “Ladies of Grace.” There’s others who are shut-in and cannot be here where They hear the pastor’s message, so there is Care to Share. And those who may be living in a nursing home today Have someone come to see them, have church for them, and pray. Our church’s sole priority is the souls of all mankind, So some go out soul winning, the lost to seek and find. We have a Christian college, a Christian school so nice, A camp for use in summer to train our youth for Christ. We have a missions program, and helps for needy, too; A pastor who is burdened, a staff who helps him through. Yes, we at HBC know all the challenges we face To reach out to Columbus with God’s great saving grace. And we want to continue to reach out and to grow, To spread this precious gospel, to learn, to give, to go. And so we thank our workers, those who have seen the need And give their time to help us in faith, in word, in deed. Each part of the solution is honored here today For all their dedication to the straight, narrow way. Written for Workers Appreciation 2005, Heritage Baptist Church
