Within our church’s walls where we pray
Where our hopes and dreams ascend
Where our cry for help and strength ascends
And the loving memories of loved ones who died ascend
Our thoughts of the origin of “the ultimate sacrifice” descends
― in He.
The wealthiest and most privileged that ever lived was He.
Born in the most extravagant gated-community in the universe was He, Enjoying a life of luxury on the highest hill was He!
Yet He came down,
down,
down
to live among the down trodden―to give
And He gave
And He gave
And He gave His love
And He gave His compassion
And He gave His wisdom
Then He gave ―His life!
Which makes me wonder: About those among us, who have so much of evertthing that others among us need, what are they willing to give?
