Gospel
Streets are filled with litter,
The rubble of the day.
Some broken glass, cigarette butts,
Things people throw away.
Leaves, bubble gum wrappers,
Even a penny or two,
Await the sweeper of streets
To bid them all adieu.
Discarded mail, oil spills,
They're sure to find their place.
Sunflower seeds, beer bottle caps,
Empty crushed cans of mace.
Broken pencils and lighters,
A few small baby toys,
Particles of old rotten meat,
Some of this worlds alloys.
A man on the corner asks for money,
The drunk staggers dangerously near,
Cursing youth, for their behavior,
The result of drinking beer.
Our Heavenly Father loves them,
With a tender heart of Grace!
He lovingly watches over them.
And bids them seek His face!
He sends someone to them,
To reach their soul in need,
Sharing about our Saviour,
To bring them joy indeed!
Upon inviting Him in,
They enter their new life.
God's righteousness - How clean!
Ends their ceaseless strife!
Beginning again - born anew!
What a grand, glorious thing,
As changes are made in the heart
They crown Jesus Christ as King!
When God intervenes, Amazing Grace!
What wonders that God can do!
He takes the unloved of this world;
Gives them life that’s brand new!
As you shuffle along the paths of life,
Some of these people you’ll meet.
Dirt, grease, and grime some would call slime,
Our Heavenly Father will greet!
What changes are made, Praise the Lord!
Our God is omnipotent sure!
He takes the sin blots of the world,
And makes them holy and pure!
