Surrounded by Saints
Imperfect people,
Conflicts abound,
Striving for light –
In Christ, heaven bound.
Difference of viewpoint,
Don’t always agree,
But somewhere in heaven,
We’ll all be free.
And I’m
Surrounded by saints.
In God’s eyes, so great –
I’m surrounded by saints.
They don’t shout the good things
That they have done,
Humbly continuing
God’s work, ‘til it’s done.
And I’m
Surrounded by saints.
In God’s eyes, so great –
I’m surrounded by saints.
Yes, I get angry,
I get in a funk –
Don’t like what they’re saying
‘Cause I’m selfishly stuck.
But I’m
Surrounded by saints.
In God’s eyes, so great –
I’m surrounded by saints.
So, Lord, make me humble,
Please melt my hard heart.
And teach me to trust You
To do my own part.
‘Cause I’m
Surrounded by saints
Made whole by Your grace –
I’m surrounded by saints.
It Hurts to Love
The cross of Christ is a paradox. How can something so painful be good, and even holy? Perhaps the more you love others, the more you will suffer. Yes, there will be times of joy, but let’s face it: often, it hurts to love.
Because you cared about others, but often they misunderstood you, or they felt threatened by your love, you suffered. Or, you suffered when you saw your loved one suffering. Or, you see their bad choices, but cannot make them change. Then you must wait and pray and trust that God may change their hearts.
