Less Than A Mile…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. The song Not Too Far From Here was on my mind once again this morning. People are scared, hurting all around us. Let’s look at the words to this song.
Not Too Far From Here (Ty Lacy/Steve Siler)
Somebody’s down to their last dime, Somebody’s running out of time
Not too far from here, Somebody’s got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope, Not too far from here
And I may not know their name, But I’m praying just the same
That you’ll use me Lord to wipe away a tear, Cause somebody’s crying
Not too far from here.
Somebody’s troubled and confused, Somebody’s got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here, Somebody’s forgotten how to trust
Somebody’s dying for love, Not too far from here.
It may be a stranger’s face, But I’m praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear, Cause somebody’s hurting
Not too far from here.
Help me, Lord, not to turn away from pain, Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion, When somebody finds the road of life too steep.
Now, I’m letting down my guard, And I’m opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needful ear. Jesus is waiting
Not too far from here, Jesus is waiting, Not too far from here.
Let’s Pray:
Father, open a door today that we may be a help in time of need to those that may be losing hope. You asked who would go for you, and we said, here am I.
Father, give us strategies, show us how to strengthen our communities, our nation and the world around us. Let your love that fills us to overflowing, touch the lives of those in need. Amen.
Have a blessed day God’s beautiful people. Touch a life, not too far from here.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
