Understanding

Now I know what my life was worth
like debris to be cast upon the earth
but you oh Father do lift me up
and gave to me your chalice and cup

The Word of the Kingdom we must spread
so that those you call may be led
in that they find your loving true
to serve in your temple a creation new

The path of this system will leave behind
where walk they among habitation blind
only with you can true love find
changed within both heart and mind

Those who with pain do us sting
we pray for them to kindness bring
to love not just those Christs others
but all mankind who are our brothers

Cast me not away when I make mistake
to the pain and affliction of heartbreak
with understanding and wisdom do lead
because for your love I am in need

I thank you for the King of Peace
from the heartbreak of world do you release
Many will never see the gifts you send
or those whose love will help hearts mend

To yourself you collect those spirits broken
who recognize the words you have spoken
you lead them as sheep though out the land
to those who want to understand
