For Just


 

"For Just"

Looking about the world, whose hands are lifted, open

Praying for just a chance,

For just a hope,

For just a dream,

One sees the pain and practically is frozen

In place for just a moment,

For just a time,

For just a second.

To stop and see people for who they really are, now,

Crying out for just a rescue,

For just a healing,

For just a Savior,

The thought convicts the soul to reach back and love how

God does, for just a man,

For just a woman,

For just a child.

After all, we all search for that outstretched hand,

Don’t we, for just a season,

For just a year,

For just a life.

Who are we to deny this love,

Sent so mercifully from above,

To just anyone?

Thus to action we needs be raised, in this land

For they; for just a human,

For just a soul,

For just an eternity.
