I ran across these lyrics today. Hadn't heard them in a while. In a new place now where these words are more real. Maybe they will stir your spirit too. There are people like this everywhere who have never even heard the beautiful name of Jesus. Should we not give them the best news they'll ever hear?
Even people who have never heard the name or story of Jesus still know God is there. It is instilled in every human being whether recognized or not. God commands us that it is our job to take to them the gospel. If we did, they would not have questions like these...
From an outcast to God:
Disney's God Help the Outcast
Hunchback of Notre Dame
I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You will listen
To a humble prayer
They tell me I am just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I seek Your face and wonder...
Were You once an outcast too?
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
The lost and forgotten
They look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
God help the outcast
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
I don't know if there's a reason
Why some are blessed, some not
Why the few you seem to favor
They fear us, flee us
Try not to see us
God help the outcasts
The tattered the torn
Seeking an answer
To why they were born
Winds of misfortune
have blown them about
You made the outcast
Don't cast them out
The poor and unlucky
The weak and the odd
I thought we all were
The children of...
God

Change of Pace: New Year
Well, well, well. Welcome to The Near Year of 2011. And snow. Lots of snow. And loss of work because of the snow. But you don't hear me complaining. It's nice to have more time with the fam and that fun little baby. Lots have been happening here at my household including Toy Story. Lots and lots of Toy Story. I can quote them now. Moms, you know what I mean.
So what are your resolutions? Or have you just stopped making them because it is completely pointless because you never keep them passed February, right? Well, I almost didn't make mine from last year- to read the New Testament. I had to finish it the first week in January. I announced to the great world of facebook that I wouldn't be back until I did. It's amazing what a little encouragement that can do for ya. Sad, really. And once I got back on facebook, I realized I hardly missed it at all. Funny how that happens, eh?
I guess sometimes it's just healthy to step back from things you do on a daily basis. You just might find that they're taking up too much of your time, how small or large that time may be.
Happy New Year. Here's to The Old Testament. (I think I'll try it in The Message Remix...)
