My Comfortable Room, A Missions Reflection

February 6, 2008

I sit here in my comfortable room

I wonder if you’re okay

As you show the Way

Sewing, digging wells, teaching, living life far away

You choose the road less traveled

To bring Light to the dark 

One day at time, one heart at a time 

People’s lives are changed

Priorities rearranged

Because by faith, hope, and love

You have made yourself available to plans

Bigger than any guidance counselor could offer 

As I think of you and pray

My comfortable room becomes less

My heart more restless

My mind races to possibilities

I gotta do something 

All around me is hopelessness

I don’t have to go very far

Dressed fine and in a nice car

Or in rags, scruffy, with old shoes

Are those who need someone

One day at time, One heart at a time

To care enough to offer faith, hope, and love 

As I think of them and pray

My comfortable room becomes less

My heart more restless

My mind races to possibilities

I gotta be something to do something 

Jesus help me be more like You

So that I can see people like You

And do that for which I’m made

Giving away faith, hope, and love

To a world tired of hearing about another

Loaded cup of red Kool-Aid I think of You and pray

Comfort has lost its appeal

My heart is pounding

My mind’s about to blow

No more sitting around

Here I go…
