IT’S TIME TO PUT OUR SELF ASIDE

By Lyn McSweeney

It’s time to put our self aside
Before we speak it’s time to decide
Will what I say cause another pain
Will the things that I do be for their gain

It’s time to sow love to those that we see
It’s time they saw Jesus in you and in me
Too many people are thinking of self
Love’s going dusty upon a shelf

We get back what we sow will we be blessed
Do we just think of others when we are pressed
Is being kind and loving something we just do
An automatic thing living in me and in you

How wonderful this world would be
If we thought of others you and me
Gods kingdom comes it is growing strong
To which kingdom do we belong?

One that is filled with love and light
The one which is our Father Gods delight
OR
The one filled with darkness hate and greed
The one that never will succeed
It’s time to put our self aside
It is time to live with Gods love inside.

WE CAN’T HIDE SELF OR PRIDE

There are things we cannot hide
one is self another is pride
These are things that cause others pain
they are only for our own gain

It is so sad that people don’t see
what a wonderful world this could be
If we thought about others and not about self
true love would not be left on a shelf

Why is it we try to impress
why do we not try to bless?
Why not think before we act
why not love before we attack?

This world could be a place of peace
if all selfishness was to decrease
This really could happen it could be real
if we forgot about self and began to feel

OTHERS PAIN!
