Lord what is it that you'd have me to do?
For I long so much to please just You.

For You alone did it all.
You died for us, the great and the small.

The moment You cried "it is finished" and surrendered Your spirit to the
Father,
Life anew poured out to those who'd accept it, and no other.

For it's your gift and no one can earn it.
So tell me, Lord, What can I do for you?

Go forth and share the good news I have given
to those far and near, those who will listen.

The fields are white for harvest, but the workers are very few.
Go forth from your comfortable chair, go forth from your alter and pew.

Share with those who have not, love the unlovable too,
stretch out your hand, and understand, it's the least that you can do.

For when you've helped the least of these,
it is Me that you will truly please.

Remember, you are not from here - your home streets are paved with gold,
do what I have commanded of you and to the devil don't allow yourself to be
sold.

He's the father of lies and seeks to destroy your very soul,
But you are Mine, My precious one, I have made you whole.

Keep your eyes on Me and let Me lead you now,
the way that takes you through the narrow gate, you ask "how?"

Through prayer and special time with Me,
this time is usually spent on ones knees.

Read My word for your directions in life,
for it will keep you free from worry and strife.

Seek My will and not that of another,
conformations sometimes comes from a brother.

Set your heart and mind on the things of heaven,
not here and now where you are livin'.

For this will all pass away, and behold I will make things new.
So keep your eyes on Me, My precious one, that I may be seen through you.

By  April Correia
all glory to you, Lord.
