A NEW IDEA THAT'S REALLY OLD.

HOW EASY IT IS TO POINT OUT
ANOTHER PERSON’S WRONGS…
ALL THE WHILE GOING ON,
SINGING THE SAME OL’ SONG.

IT’S MUCH EASIER TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE
THAN TO REACH OUT A HELPING HAND…
WHY CAN’T WE JUST EXHIBIT WHAT IT’S LIKE
TO BE CHRIST’S BODY ACROSS THIS LAND?

WHAT IF WE STARTED WITH OURSELVES,
EXAMINING THROUGH AND THROUGH?
HEY, NOW THERE’S A GOOD IDEA!!....
ALTHOUGH, I DON’T THINK IT’S NEW!

WHAT IF TO SEE CHANGE AROUND US,
IT ACTUALLY STARTED WITHIN?
WHAT IF WE ACTUALLY CHANGED OURSELVES…
AND THAT DREW OTHERS IN?

WHAT IF WE STOPPED THE BICKERING,
THE BACKSTABBING, JUDGING, AND STRIFE?
WHAT IF THAT ACTUALLY USHERED IN
THE ETERNAL MEANING OF LIFE?

BECAUSE WE’RE NOT JUST HERE FOR WHAT HAPPENS
ON THE DAY OUR JOURNEYS END HERE…
ETERNITY IS NOT ONLY THE OTHER SIDE…
IT’S WHAT WE’RE LIVING YEAR AFTER YEAR.

ALL I CAN DO IS CHANGE MYSELF,
AND HOPE AND PRAY AND SERVE…
AND BE THANKFUL THAT GOD LOVES US ALL SO MUCH,
THAT NONE OF US ACTUALLY GET WHAT WE DESERVE!!!
