God's Compassion

Filled with compassion
For all creation
Jesus came into a world that was lost
There was but one way
That He could save us
Only through suffering death on a cross

God You are waiting, 
Your heart is breaking
For all the people who live on the earth
Stir us to action, 
Filled with Your passion
For all the people who live on the earth

Great is Your passion 
For all the people
Living and dying without knowing You
Having no saviour
They're lost forever
If we don't speak out and lead them to You

From every nation 
We shall be gathered
Millions redeemed shall be Jesus' reward
Then He will turn and say to His Father
"Truly my suffering was worth it all"

  • Ryan,

    I want to say that I have enjoyed reading you blog for the past couple months and thought it was about time I left a comment.

    I'm one of Rachel and Rebecca's friends that lives in Tennessee. Becca told me about your blogs, and, like I said, I really enjoy them. It's a blessing to know that there are other young people out there that want to serve the Lord.

    Keep posting! May God bless your work.

  • Hi Faith,
    Thanks for commenting! It's neat to see who really reads my sporadic posts! :)

    Amen, it has been a blessing to me also to see many youth out there that have a heart for the Lord and a burden for the lost. It has also been enlightening for me to see unique perspectives from youth that come from many different backgrounds... So many times I get stuck in a rut of thinking that the way I know is the only way, if you know what I mean.

    Thanks again for your encouragement, and may God bless you richly also!

  • Boy, Ryan! You've really changed! (and here I thought you looked different with a beard - now you're a cat! :P lol)

    btw, you didn't write this poem did you? There weren't any credits anyway! :D

    Go Serve Your King!

  • Becc@,
    What's a fella to do when he doesn't have a good photo of himself? :) Sorry about the credits... Forgot this time. I only can dream about writing a poem that good.

    My poems make no sense
    For this poet is too dense
    To make words that will mince
    Off the tongue and convince
    My readers that I rinse
    Down my suppers with mints!

    Ok, sorry, that was lame, but it's late here... :)

  • um, yeah, I really can understand why you wouldn't have a good picture of yourself, because, well--- nevermind! :P :D

    Great poetry there, btw! I like it better than the post actually. (no I'll tell the truth and not be a hipocrite ;))
    Good going, you did a good job. You didn't even have to say the-late-at-night thing... :D ;)
