O Little One

In response to Micah 6:8 and James 1:27

Overwhelmed at how He saves those in oppression and specifically the little ones in slavery... see, As His Own(India), and other ministries have helped open my eyes to see that there is "no greater cause" than to work in freeing people from slavery, like Christ has done for me! His mercy is new and He brings new life, Oh, how can I fully understand this?

O Little One

O Little One,

Where have you gone?

Where have you been?

What have they done?

You’ve been abused

You’re in distress

You feel alone

You have no home

What can I do?

What can I do?

What can be done?

What can be done?

I’m torn in two

I’m torn for you

They have no shame

Who is to blame?

O Little One,

By His Mercy,

By His Grace

He knows your name

Sin in the world

Love’s beauty, it has blurred

Aching in the mire

But to be loved is your desire

He Who knows

Calls His own

To be His loving arms

To open up their palms

Will I obey?

To look after the orphan,

The widow, the weak?

Or to give money they desperately need?

May I wipe your tear?

Hold your hand, hold you near?

To go, to do?

With you, walk through?

To intercede may be my gift

To pray and to lift?

On behalf who don’t know

The seeds that they sow.

Will I obey?

His commands are so good.

Not for me, for His name’s sake ~

His glory and His fame!

O Little One,

Will I, can I, point you to Him?

Who knew no sin?

Creating new life within?

O Little One,

In this justice mission

How can I start?

What is my part ?

I may not,

But in any case,

Whether I see your face,

I want to be in the right place.

O Little One,

The cost of obedience,

The cost of sacrifice,

The cost of Love.

Christ Himself, for me He emptied

He gave His life a ransom for many

Now freedom since He came

Now calls me to do the same.

Evil’s days are few.

God’s promise is true.

He seeks justice for you.

He makes all things new!

How beautiful the day

When you see His face

Joy for pain, it will replace

Your life, a tapestry of grace

Until that day

I will listen and obey

I WILL commit

And love like Christ did.
