I’m not here to greedily take All the joy for myself I’m here to give back to others The joy that God has brought me The peace that He has caused me The love that is His guiding light I’m not here to thoughtlessly seize Everything that I think my soul needs I’m here to listen, to care, to believe I’m here to share my heart and soul With whispers of kindness, reminding The heart to hear all the wonders Inside the soul who knows His love Is alive, a light, thriving on the inside Of those who know Him and understand His love is more powerful than any influence I’m not here to selfishly capture All those things that come to mind When I think of my desire, my hunger For all those things that bring me bliss All those things that encourage my gladness All of those things that make me aware God has blessed my entire heart so richly I’m not here to uncaringly conquer The dream, the hope, the want of my heart It isn’t my place to listen to my longings With never a thought for the ones I meet Those who are challenged by pain and regrets Those who are worried, fearful and anxious Those who are hoping my presence will bring them Assurance, joy, peace and love… feelings that shine Down from heaven above, piercing the darkness With a light of hope, joy, faith, peace and grace All the love that God brings to the human race I’m not here to only think of me I’m here to give my heart and soul To the duty, the work that is God’s Gift to me, His kind and compassionate Assurance that I can give back to Him A piece of the miracle He has blessed me with A part of the wonder He has given to me In order for me to give back, to contribute With love that only He can give, love That only His Son could have inspired within I’m not here to secure anything for me I’m here to win hearts for the Savior Who is the One I live my life to follow The One who I give my every ability So that He can use me to draw others To His love, His grace, His mercy… peace That is like a tenderness moving souls To know the intimacy of a personal relationship With the One who gave His life to save lives!
