Servants Heart

Servants Heart

By Jim Cole

Another rainy Monday morning

I'm in a hurry once again

A beggar held a sign

With trembling hands

I tried not to notice him

It's not that I don't have compassion

It's just that I don't understand

How can I really make a difference to

An ordinary man

Lord give us your heart

That we might serve others

No one can survive all by themselves

The love that we share

Along the way

Might be the very love

We'll need someday

My brother called me

Just the other day

We hadn't spoken for awhile

I longed to say the words

I love you

But I did not know how

I've heard it said

That life's a journey

A road where time will slip away

And no one's guaranteed tomorrow

For what needs said today

Lord give us your heart

That we might serve others

No one can survive all by themselves

The love that we share

Along the way

Might be the very love

We'll need someday
