BEYOND OURSELVES

by: Clay Harrison

We sometimes miss a blessing
that's right before our eyes
Preoccupied by earthly things
which make us "world wise."

We fail to see beyond ourselves
hearts that we have broken,
And we forget the angry words
that we in haste have spoken.

We fill our lives with selfish things
forgetting those in need,
And miss the joy that sharing brings
in our effort to succeed.

How blessed we are when we believe,
and praise God with our lips,
For when we reach beyond ourselves
we touch His fingertips!
