green

So every now and then, I'm walking down the street and realize that I have a Keith Green song stuck in my head. When the internal awkwardness passes and I start humming some fantastically preachy remnants of the seventies, my heart can be really lifted by Keith singing, "Thank you, O our Father, for giving us you son and leaving you spirit 'till the work on earth is done."
Today this one was stuck in my head:

Go to the hungry ones and fill them with his bread
They’ll leave their darkness as you shine the light he shed
Point to his promises believe in all he said
And his joy will be manifest in you
And the lost will be found as he works through you

Out on the highways there’s so many passing by
Step out in boldness and watch the family multiply
Pray up some miracles lets open up the sky
And his joy will be manifest to you
And the lost will be found by the things you do

Oh, don’t you know that Jesus loves you so go and spread his word
Redeem the time while there’s still time
Let’s share the call we’ve heard.
Let’s share the call we’ve heard.

Is your house open to let strangers enter there?
Give to the least of them; show them someone cares
And you may be entertaining angels unaware
And his joy will be manifest to you
And the lost will be found as he works through you
And his joy will be manifest in you
And the lost will be found by the things you do


Listened to a sermon today where the preacher talked about advent and I was like "oh, yeah! Christmas is coming!" Please pray we'll stay focused for the next week.
