"Well Done"

Sometimes I think I have to do,
some great and might work.
But God spoke through the Bible,
and this is what He wrote.

I ask you to give water,
unto a thirsty one,
and if there's one that's fallen,
to be there to be strong.

I ask you to stand faithful,
when all the rest have gone,
and when another falters,
a shoulder to lean on.

If one should be discouraged,
I ask you to uplift.
And if there's one that's hurting,
to treat with tenderness.

I ask you to encourage,
when hope seems far away.
I ask you to have mercy,
for mercy leads the way.

To visit those that are alone
to give yourself to me.
This is the greatest work there is,
and this I ask of thee.

-- Deborah J. Cain.

-- John 14:21 (RSV)
"He who has my commandments and keeps them,
he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will
be loved by my Father, and I will love him and
manifest myself to him."
