GOD SENDS PEOPLE
Throughout time
When the world
Has chosen the wrong road
Has chosen the road of darkness
Instead of God’s road of LIGHT
God sends people
God sends people
People to point out our mistakes
God does this
Because there is
So much at stake
One such person
That God sent
Was Jeremiah
A prophet who came
About 600 years before Christ
Idolatry and perverted worship
Were the rule of the day
God sent Jeremiah
To the people of Judah
Who had
Turned their back on God
Jeremiah pointed out
To the people of his day
That we should worship God
And God alone
For his efforts
Jeremiah endured
Contempt and ridicule
Lost his family and friends
And even suffered attempts
On his life
Throughout time
God has sent us people
Abraham, Moses, and Elijah
Throughout time
God has sent us people
John the Baptist, Peter, and Paul
Throughout time
God has sent us people
Jesus Christ alone
The One who stands out
For all time
This world
Is lost today
Turning its back
On God
Making the wrong decisions
Time after time
Who is God sending today
Perhaps you
Perhaps me
Dear Lord God above
Please Please Please
SEND US SOME PEOPLE
