Do for One

Do for one
At last a confession
In an effort to be globally focused,
I lost sight of what's in front of me, the locally hopeless
My ulterior motives got the best of me
And now here's the rest of me
Trying to reach the thousands
While ignoring my community
Resentment took roots,
Self preservation began fuelling me
The fool in me thought I had it figured out
Now it is time to live it out
What if I can touch one,
What if I could do for one what I can do for thousands
What if I was more present in the moment that was surrounding
Cause the present, is where the presences of my God is founded
So I got to be more present, and present this hope
Serve and give when I am asked to do my part
We spoke about changing the world one life at a time
If I touch one, you touch one that's two lives on the line
Two turns into four, four turns into eight,
Eight turns into forty cause more people relate
And before we have time to slow down, and think and just wait
We've then touched a couple more thousand
By speaking His grace
Not just speaking but breathing and being His hands
So that the love of Jesus could reach the most deviant man
Those far from God could be saved and be in his plan
Cause I was right there when someone reached out
When I couldn't stand on my own
Not just a handout but a hand up
It's not about pity but really helping somebody stand up
Every person, every street corner in our city
In our region, in our state call it the hope committee
So let this hope be pervasive, let this hope reach the nations
When me and you are long gone
May this be the way they remember us throughout the ages
It's amazing God used us to touch lives and bring change
It's beyond big light, and big stages, building platform to be famous
Making lots of money so you can have lots of friends
But you can't take none of that with you in the end
All that matters who we touch on this side of eternity
And what's in front of us is where we begin
We came along way but we got further to go
So let's begin
Do for one
