FISH FOR LESS

From the day I entered into this world
I knew without lesson
How to put myself first

"Feed me, clothe me, serve me,
 need me and love me, too"

So much disappointment met
As all the others beg the same
The wall of need and greed bars us
 ~ one from another

Then one day was shown to me
The Truth, The Life, The Better Way
My selfless, caring Lord
In all He said and did and thought,
He fed me, clothed me, served me,
 needed me and loved me, too

Herein lies new life abundant
A cup of blessing
Filled and overflowing

selFISHness FOR selfLESSness

Oh, so simple ... yet complex

"Be that one to feed and clothe and serve,
 to need and love the other, too"

Insodoing, the walls come tumbling down
We find by grace we have been saved
Unified in our Savior's sacrifice and service
Then passed on
 ~ one to another
