Special Indeed
Special Indeed
God called me to serve in an unlikely place,
Some spoke in different languages; some had a different face.
Lord, are you sure this is where I am to be,
Some cannot walk, speak, or see.
I have no talent, not even one skill,
Are you sure Lord, this is your will.
Then it happened in the twinkling of an eye,
I was given a smile that lit up the sky.
I ask the question as we all tend to do,
Why can’t they be the same as me and you.
God heard my confusion as he whispered to me,
I am truth, I am life, come and you will see.
As I opened His Word, He pointed me to His reason,
So, the power of God could be seen through their season.
I foreknew them, predestined them, conformed them in the image of my Son,
So, as you look into their eyes, you will see the Chosen One.
You will have to understand, my thoughts are not yours, nor is my way,
Their highway home is completed and with my hand they shall not go astray.
Their day is coming where they will leap like that of a frisky deer,
Their ears will be opened and with loud voices they will cheer.
They offered me a love I felt could never be deserved,
As I realized on that day, I was the one being served.
