The Servant Poem by louis rams

here i am LORD, a servant in your hand
please help me LORD, to make me understand.
my heart is crying out to you
with all my aches and pains
will it continue, will i ever be the same.

i feel your presence all around, and i know
that there are angels to be found.

but when i'm feeling lonely
and full of despair, will my angels be there
to wipe away my fears?

we are all your children, and like a child
i have to feel the warmth of your embrace
to look into your eyes, and see your smiling face.

HE SAID: i will always love and protect you
and never turn you away
for you are in my heart, and forever you will stay.
i am the one who gave you life
and there's a journey that you must take.

there are hungry children and many lives are at stake.
but this is a decision- that in your heart you must make.

there will be dangers, and many mountains
that you must climb.
spreading the word of the gospel
and you have'nt got much time.

people are not only hungry for food to eat
or even water to bathe their feet.
they are looking for hope.
and i have chosen you.
will you help me? the choice is up to you.

here i was thinking of myself, and what i was going through.
with so much suffering, i knew what i had to do.
i gathered myself up, and looked up to the sky, and said:

i don't even have part of your strength
but i will surely try, i will spread
your word, and that there is no lie.

here i am LORD, a servant in your hand
and i will spread your word LORD
the only way i can.

your teachings are in my poetry
for you have inspired me
this is how i could spread your word
it's the only way i see.

SO NOW I ASK ALL OF YOU.
IF YOU WAS IN MY SHOES
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
