Take This World

“Take this world and give me Jesus;
This is not where I belong.
All I know is I’m not home yet;
This is not where I belong.”
Well, sort of, but you do belong;
He put you here for His glory
To shine His light exposing evil
Even rescuing the innocents!
You got things to do, an assignment or two;
So buck up and bring Him the glory!
Your story must be more than praise;
Got to honor Him with deeds all your days:
People to help, mercy to be given,
“Clinics” to abolish so children can be livin’.
Yeah, you got plenty to do before you’re through;
You know the line: “God’s not through with you!”
So buck up and bring Him that glory!
Do your job; read your kids a good story.
Even make with them one that others will read.
Take up your cross, and an ax; do a good deed.
There are plenty of ways you can serve
No matter your style or your nerve:
A builder teacher, a lost soul reacher;
Do what He calls you to do.
He’s with you ’til you’re through.
