Begging

Hi everyone, just a quick note before today's poem. I will be on the radio here in Seoul every Saturday and Sunday evening throughout December at 8pm. Remember, that's 8pm Korean time. You can hear me at www.febc.net (go to the bottom of the page, click on the fm button) - Chris

Each of us is like the beggar
sitting outside the rich man's gate
helpless to feed ourselves
unable to change our fate
But if we choose to sit outside the gate of the King of Kings
Begging
We'll not be denied
a place inside
but we'll be invited in
Because our God cares for the lowly and the poor
and he demands that we care for them too
for truthfully my friend, compared to Heaven's store
we are all beggars, destitute
Our only position can be
to approach God on our knees
begging "oh Lord please, have mercy on me"

And when we've fed at his table and are satisfied
we should listen carefully for other beggar's cries
and invite them too, inside

Yes, when we "love one another"
we're simply caring for each poor sister and brother
So share my feast
with the very least
with the thirsty and the hungry
Sell all you have, give it to the poor, then come, follow me
Only with a heart fully committed to love,
can you be my disciple, you see"

Yes, we're all beggars, all of us, starving for love
the kind we can only find
in our precious, sweet God above
Now found in our hearts below
so let His love flow
freely let it go
so all in this sick world may know
the King of Love, loves them so....
