Sitting in my (thankfully) warm home, I was reminded of this old song:
When I
look at living and see the pain that people have to bear,
I look to You for their deliverance.
But your reply is simple, so defined;
it tells me to take the time to love them with a love like yours.
If I reflect a sense of unconcern, keeping your light hid,
remind me what I was before you.
‘Cause how could I keep secret, to myself, the Source of all that lives,
when all around are walking dead?
So, won’t you pour from me like a stream that never ends.
Brighten darkened corners where your light has never been.
And I want to draw people closer, drawn by your sweet love;
like a warm fire in a cold world.
I look to You for their deliverance.
But your reply is simple, so defined;
it tells me to take the time to love them with a love like yours.
If I reflect a sense of unconcern, keeping your light hid,
remind me what I was before you.
‘Cause how could I keep secret, to myself, the Source of all that lives,
when all around are walking dead?
So, won’t you pour from me like a stream that never ends.
Brighten darkened corners where your light has never been.
And I want to draw people closer, drawn by your sweet love;
like a warm fire in a cold world.
