We are a mix of thoughts and desires. Our opinions overtake our compassion. The desired end for our own goals supersedes the goals for the good of others. Even the most outspoken for others battles selfishness along the way.
Not us, but you Lord. Not our will, but yours.
Help us see that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.
Let that fuel our words and actions more than just help us "survive" the present. If we know none of our sufferings can compare to the coming glory, we have strength to sacrifice our comfort, our safe cocoons, to live out the gospel in word and deed.
There are those who can not fight for themselves right now. Let us each find that group that has been placed on our hearts, the ones who at this moment can not fight for themselves. and let us carry their burden; not of our own strength and for our own glory, but with the power of heaven and for the glory of our Father.
Share the Well
Caedmon's Call
Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well, my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well, my friend
Do you think the water knows
Flowing down to the mountain thaw
Finally to find repose
For any soul who cares to draw
Some kindred keepers of this earth
On their way to join the flow
Are cast aside and left to thirst
Tell me now it is not so
Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well, my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well, my friend
And all God's creatures share the water hole
The blessed day the monsoon comes
And in His image we are woven
Every likeness every one
From Kashmir to Kerala
Under every banyan tree
Mothers for their children cry
With empty jar and bended knee
Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well, my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well, my friend
You know I've heard good people say
There's nothing I can do
That's half a world away
Maybe you've got money
Maybe you've got time
Maybe you've got living well
That ain't ever running dry
Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well, my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well, my friend
Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well, my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well, my friend
