I was a wanderer,
Lost and alone
Upon the face
Of the earth.
No hand to hold,
No friendly face
To be with me.
And then He came
Holding out His hands
Offering to guide me
If only I will let Him.
Now I am
A wanderer still;
But no longer alone,
For now
God walks with me.
The cry for help
Sounds from the streets,
But no one
Hears it.
The people walk by
And do not see
The poor and lame.
Where, oh Lord,
Are you?
Where is your justice?
And where - juistce?
Come to us, Lord,
And help us.
Come, come as you are,
Come and meet the Parent
And find out here
Just how much you are loved.
Come meet the Father
And let Him strengthen you
For the problems you face
And walk daily with Him.
Come meet the Mother
And see how comforting,
Gentle and loving
Her arms can be.
Come as you are
And meet the One
Who is Father and Mother
To us all and loves us all.
I am hungry,
Feed me.
I am naked,
Clothe me.
I am homeless,,
House me.
I am unloved,
Care about me.
I am God's ,child
Help me
To a better life.
Set up a table
And load it
With food and drink
Then turn ,
Hold out your hands
And invite
ALL the world
To sit with us
And there eat
And drink
Together.
I am me,
Unique
In all the world.
There is no one else
Quite like me,
For no one else
Quite has
My combination
Of experiences
And genetics.
So here I am,
See me,
And accept ne
As the special person
That I am.
Make all people
Welcome
And do not turn
Anyone away.
For all people
Are God's creation
And we dare not
Make any differences
Between people.
A Child Of God
By Jerry Browning
Chorus:
I'm a child of God - You made me like You want me
And You want like You made me,
Not for others to deceive,
I'm a child of God - and in my heart I hear You
I'll never have to leave You, if I live what I believe.
Someone will turn the Master's words to music
Someone will paint a sudden burst of spring
Each life is given a gift to share with others
But some will turn away and never see a thing.
Chorus :
So when the time has come to meet the Maker
And I'm taken from the pastures where I feed,
Will I be true? Did I live the life You gave me
Or a life some other mortal made me lead?
Chorus :
Children of one God
We are children
Of the one God,
And we are loved.
God is working,
Helping all of us;
And always, we are loved.
Come and see,
Our God wills good
For us all
When we will
Turn away
From all the wrongs
That we do.
God, forgive us
When we turn away
From you
And refuse to see
All people
As your children.
Forgive us
When we turn
Others away
And try to make them
Less than what they are.
Forgive us
When we forget
That your love
Is there for all,
Teach us and help us remember
That you created
All that we see
Around us.
God is near,
Accepting all people
As children
And forgiving us
When we come back
To those loving arms.
Go out into the world
And look around you
And see that those
That are around you
Are all children of God.
Walk in peace and love
With all people
And know
That God loves you.
Help me out to calmness, oh God..
Show me that some people
Don't think as well as others do
Help me to patience, oh God.
See that I remember that some
Don't always act like way I expect.
Help me to love, oh God.
Lovingg even those
I would prefer to ignore.
