Sometimes, it’s hard for me to love my place
I hear swearing, see fighting, and just want to hide my face!
A place Life has given me, a desert land,
But my reassurance is: My life is in God’s right hand!
His strength is my source; it’ll keep me through the day
While at the same time I can be a light, and shine in this perfect way!
I need to be that example for God’s work to do
I’m the only one professing here, but maybe, there will be 2?!
I need to love the soul, and look beyond the flesh
To give this person a chance to start his life afresh!
How can I shy away, when there are many souls that are lost?
I take a beating daily, but never do I count the cost!
I do it for the name of Christ; I do it out of love.
