Sure Win

As the old truth says
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day
Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a life time
But if you love a man by the power of Christ
He can multiply the fish to feed the multitudes
Far more than physical food
The world needs relief
Not just bread and money
You can fill a man's stomach and he still be hungry
You can give a man dollars and he still need change
You can change a man's clothes and his filth remains
So what is our aim? What should it be?
To build schools and dig wells in hell
Then leave?
Do we merely seek to keep ‘em alive
Or keep ‘em living?
Do we give ‘em a house, or a hammer and a vision?
A brand new perspective
A mind that rejects all the lies that attempt
To confine and oppress
People need the truth of God that sets free
To know that their groans have reached the heavenlies
And when God heard them he reached the hearts of his
Servants and broke them because hearts love better broke
Broke them so they go
Yes with food
Yes with clothes
But most, with hope
Most to show the ones who mourn that God is for them
Who can stand against?
When our aim is to love
The battle’s a sure win
Each well we dig will dry
Each home we build fold
But souls healed by the love of
God remain forever whole
Motivation for our labor is greater than
Fantasies of utopia. We know, until his kingdom come
The sorrows of this world will increase
But Christ has overcome the world
My Lord, what a relief
