Take a little time
to think about your life
where you've been, where you are
and where you're going
you wake up in the morning
ten minutes behind
coffee and a bagel
onto the daily grind
rush, rush, rush
push, shove, go
gotta get to work
gotta make the dough
theres no time to waste
you're caught up in the haste
no room in your day
no minute to pray
but then all of a sudden
something stops your runnin'
the bum who's in the corner
asked you for a quarter
His dirty crusty hands
His grimy nasty face
You think that he's not worth it
to make you stop your pace
You tell him that youre broke
You gotta pay the bills
Even though you walk around
rocking your Gucci heels
Dont think all of you fellas
are any much betta
showin' your 'thug' appeal
You think you keep it real
But let me tell you something
Your probems are nothing
You think you have it rough
You say youve had enough
Take a minute to rewind
and you will surely find
what it means to have problems
and have no way to solve them
Take a little time to think about his life
where he's been, where he's at and where he's going
Just the day before
this man that you ignored
was caught up in a mess
was very much depressed
You see he was like you
he had a lot to do
A house, a job, a car
he thought he would get far
He had it all planned out
Buy a great big house
Ms.Right he soon would marry
and have 3 kids to carry
Before he'd settle down
thought he'd mess around
have all of his fun
while he was young
With money came temptation
Gambling and addiction
he had to have it all
but this caused him to fall
A dirty viral needle
made him weak and feeble
all his cash he bet away
nothing gold can stay
Life slipping through his hands
he could not understand
why should he live his lifew
ith all this pain and strife
A rope, a knife, a gun
he's thought of every one
how simple it would be
in a moment he'd be free
He did not know the meaning
of a greater being
making a sacrifice
so he can live his life
No one ever told him
No one ever showed him
but just the day before
there was an open door
All it really tookwas just a second look
to ask him where he's been
where he's at and where he's going
Back to reality
now what do you see
the dirty crusty man
or yet another lost lamb?
Show him Gods great love
thank God up above
tell him there's still hope
and that he can cope
Remember God's great purpose
for us in this world
is to spread His gospel
let his love unfurl
It's nice to have those shoes
and have all of your money
thats all great and dandy
its all swell and lovely
Your car, your house, your stuff
the cool clothes that you wear
you think its not enough
one day theyll disappear
I hope that you can see
missed opportunities
you had to share His truth
give what God gave to you
This man asked you because
he saw a light above
your head so he was guessing
you'd be his big blessing.
Don't ever forget
who you represent
dont walk in shame
spread His name
He did not die in vain
I'm not trying to make you feel
that you cant be real
It's not a guilt trip
I know we all do slip
I'm trying to make you realize
your priorities have changed
Im trying to make you see
the person you should be
We're God's children,
we're His light and His soldiers
We must live our lives much bolder
Stand up, be firm, profess
Born again your saved and blessed
We all know what we must do
so its all up to youto live in Jesus' will
is the only way still
Dont ever look back
or you will surely fall
continue in the light
fighting the good fight
One day he will return
one day he'll come again
will you stay and be burned
or be in Jesus' reign?
So take a little time to think about your life
where youve been, where you are
and where youre going.
Many will be surprised
bythe place that they are in
they did not go with Jesus
they lived their lives in sin
They find that its too late
they can not go back
regretting their mistake
never picked up their slack
But those who go with Him
honestly do win
forever in His presence
they give Him his reverence
They walked the narrow road
They lived for Jesus Christ
submitting their big load
they made Jesus their life.
