Weekend Words

Reach Out

He lifts us up, gives us His strength;
So we, in turn, can give.
Reach out to those who need His touch,
And show them how to live.

We are His hands, His eyes, His feet,
Asked to give so that others may eat.
Provide for their immediate needs,

And then in friendship, plant the seed. 

The Gospel - true and wonderful,
God's love so rich and bountiful.

We have His life, His love within,
That frees us from the weight of sin.
So freely given us from above,
Can we do less than share His love?
