I Will Go
~Starfield, "I Will Go"
I just stumbled on this song, and it really speaks to how I want my response to be to God's call to be a healer in this world. I often times swing back and forth about how involved God wants me to be in helping the poor and the outcasts.. but I think the Bible is clear: Jesus's main ministry was to the broken, the humiliated, the poor, the blind, the widowed, and the weak. Who am I to claim the resources God gave me as things I should use for only myself? That includes my time, my money, and my attention. Of course, I know that I've been unfaithful with my blessings.. this is just a cool motivating song that brings my attention to what God really wants =]. Hope it touches you!
To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the need
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be
[Chorus:]
I will go, I will go
I will go, Lord send me
To the world, To the lost
To the poor and hungry
Take everything I am
I'm clay within your hands
I will go, I will go, send me
Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to see the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change
I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you
Send me! [4x]

I totally understand how you feel xP. Hmmm....I just had a bible study on Jesus's parable about the grand feast. One thing that really got me was the fact that we all make excuses. God has a banquet ready for us, but we're too distracted with things of lesser value to attend this grand banquet. If we truly see how wonderful His banquet is, then we would want to invite everyone to come. A lot of times I put see myself as the guest who makes excuses. We should all instead be his servant who is reaching out to those who are blind, poor, and crippled and ask them to attend God's feast. Thanks Tim for sharing this song!
