Requirements

Categories: Compassion

What does the Lord require of me?
To act justly – to do what is right
To love mercy – show compassion to all
To walk humbly – with the Lord.

I feel a bit of a failure now
How do I respond to your call?
Move from my sense of guilt & shame
To a place of where I will always bring
Glory to your name.

In every situation Lord
I ask for the Father’s heart
To share the pain of those who are hurt
To give sacrificially.
To listen, give time to everyone
Who crosses my path each day
Keep me from any indifference Lord
Help me act in line with Your will
Oh, give me an overflowing heart
Then I’ll see as you see; share in part
In your expanding kingdom of love.

Micah 6:8
