The next time you get angry At something someone said? Ask yourself...is this really worth Getting steamed or seeing red? Keep an image in your mind Of Jesus, whipped and weak Even while suffering horrible pain He turned the other cheek... And when the load that weighs you down Seems to have you at a loss? Ask yourself...is it as heavy As that massive, wooden cross? And when your spirit is deflated From facing ridicule and scorn Think of the Blood that stained His face From that awful crown of thorns... Whatever hurt the world inflicts On your feelings or your pride Does it come close to being worse Than the spear that pierced His side? Nothing we face on this earth Will match the pain He knew... Agony, torture, finally death And He did it all for you!! So next time you get frazzled Or your just in an evil mood? Think about what Jesus did And bow your head in gratitude! For He gave everything He had To pay the debt you owe Keep that always in your mind No matter where you go! Let Him know you appreciate The sacrifice He made... Spread His love throughout the world Unashamed and unafraid!! Dusty Richardson c 2001 |
