I’m not here to greedily take
All the joy for myself
I’m here to give back to others
The joy that God has brought me
The peace that He has caused me
The love that is His guiding light
I’m not here to thoughtlessly seize
Everything that I think my soul needs
I’m here to listen, to care, to believe
I’m here to share my heart and soul
With whispers of kindness, reminding
The heart to hear all the wonders
Inside the soul who knows His love
Is alive, a light, thriving on the inside
Of those who know Him and understand
His love is more powerful than any influence
I’m not here to selfishly capture
All those things that come to mind
When I think of my desire, my hunger
For all those things that bring me bliss
All those things that encourage my gladness
All of those things that make me aware
God has blessed my entire heart so richly
I’m not here to uncaringly conquer
The dream, the hope, the want of my heart
It isn’t my place to listen to my longings
With never a thought for the ones I meet
Those who are challenged by pain and regrets
Those who are worried, fearful and anxious
Those who are hoping my presence will bring them
Assurance, joy, peace and love… feelings that shine
Down from heaven above, piercing the darkness
With a light of hope, joy, faith, peace and grace
All the love that God brings to the human race
I’m not here to only think of me
I’m here to give my heart and soul
To the duty, the work that is God’s
Gift to me, His kind and compassionate
Assurance that I can give back to Him
A piece of the miracle He has blessed me with
A part of the wonder He has given to me
In order for me to give back, to contribute
With love that only He can give, love
That only His Son could have inspired within
I’m not here to secure anything for me
I’m here to win hearts for the Savior
Who is the One I live my life to follow
The One who I give my every ability
So that He can use me to draw others
To His love, His grace, His mercy… peace
That is like a tenderness moving souls
To know the intimacy of a personal relationship
With the One who gave His life to save lives!
