His hands and feet

My mother was an amazing woman. Always reaching out. Always doing and giving of herself. Always smiling. She had a light within her that just radiated from her. She was vibrant.

I yearn to keep that beautiful vibrant light going for her as she has since passed on 15 years ago today. If I can carry it on and teach my daughter to do the same, reaching and doing and giving - sharing Christ's light, being His hands and feet into the world - then perhaps the kindnesses will be paid forward even more so, even further than we could imagine.

Won't you take a few moments to listen to this song? The words to this amazing song speak volumes and will humble you at the same time. Just think... if we can each be a small change in the world, what an amazingly changed world it could be.

Lincoln Brewster, The Power of Your Name
{lyrics beneath video}


The Power Of Your Name
Surely children weren't made for the streets
and fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn't how it should be
let your kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war
or the broken in two be ignored
Surely this just can't be what you saw
let your kingdom come, here in my heart

{chorus}
And I will live to carry your compassion,
to love a world that's broken,
to be your hands and feet...
And I will give with the life that I've been given,
to go beyond religion,
to see the world be changed by the power of your name.

Surely life wasn't made to regret,
and the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
let your kingdom come, Lord, break this heart

And I will live to carry your compassion,
to love a world that's broken,
to be your hands and feet...
And I will give with the life that I've been given,
to go beyond religion,
to see the world be changed by the power of your name.

Jesus your name is a shelter for the hurting
your name is a refuge for the weak
Only your name can take the undeserving
Jesus your name holds everything I need

And I will live to carry your compassion,
to love a world that's broken,
to be your hands and feet...
And I will give with the life that I've been given,
to go beyond religion,
to see the world be changed by the power of your name.
