His power, his position
Sacrificed at the feet of Jesus,
His one hope for salvation
To heal the one he loved...
 
He didn't think about consequences,
His love guided his steps,
He knew in his heart
Jesus was the only way...
 
He believed in Christ's power
His power to heal
He fell down in worship
At the feet of Jesus Christ...

Give up your power, your station,
Focus on the one thing,
Your need for Jesus,
for healing, for eternal life...
 
Fall at the feet of Jesus,
Offer Him your worship,
Only Jesus can heal us,
He can save us from death...
 
Worship the God here with us,
The Spirit abiding within,
Bring Him your pain, your weakness,
In Christ do we live...
 
There may be a cost in this life,
To reject the things of this world,
But oh, the reward is so much greater
When we fall before the Lord...

We do not hear
The rest of the story
their remaining journey
after they encountered the Christ...
 
History does not record
most of the lives Christ changed,
Most of them are not recorded
down to this day...
 
So many have been faithful
And yet we are forgotten
Only a precious few
are remembered in history...
 
We don’t hear
The rest of the story
after we encounter Christ
How He changes our lives...

we #deny #Christ

We deny Christ

His presence, His power,

when we reject the sojourner,

the stranger, the traveler,

the angels among us,

Christ’s hands and feet,

we are made goats, not sheep.

 

We deny Christ

we are made goats, not sheep,

the ones at His left hand,

the ones to be cast out,

when we reject the travelers,

the strangers, the sojourners,

Christ’s hands and feet.

their feet are dust covered – v2

Their feet are dust covered,

with the sweat, the dirt of the road,

the way of the sojourner, the traveler,

of the disciples of Jesus,

walking with Him around Galilee,

healing, sharing with so many,

sojourning toward Jerusalem.

 

They travel, they learn beside Him,

sharing their meals with Him

journeying as they must

as His brethren, His servants,

friends of Christ.

 

They walk the way of suffering,

to be true to their calling;

their feet are dust covered,

travelers with the good news,

a great story to tell.

 

So true our companions,

fellow disciples, servants, missionaries

brethren with Christ, in the journey

these sojourners, these travelers,

their feet are dust covered,

with the sweat, the dirt of the road,

in the way of the disciples of Jesus,

 

They travel, they learn,

through His example, His teachings.

journeying as they must,

Christ’s brethren, His servants,

friends of the risen Christ.

 

They walk the way of suffering,

to be true to their calling;

their feet are dust covered,

travelers with the good news,

a great story to tell.
