THE ULTIMATE VOLUNTEER

 

May 8th

 

“The Ultimate Volunteer”

 

In every society

There are

3 kinds of people

 

The lawless

Those who do

What the law demands

And the volunteers

Those who go the extra mile

 

Jesus was

The ultimate volunteer

He gave his life

Freely for all of us

 

He was

Not just a hired hand

He was

The ultimate good shepherd

Who did not lose

Any of his sheep

 

So Lord

We ask of you

Not just to do

As we are asked

But for the grace

To go the extra mile

 

We ask of you

To give our lives freely

Back to you

 

Not just

To be loved by God

But to give

Our life and love in return

 

We ask of you

For the grace

To live like you

To give

Our lives freely

 

And to be like you

Go the extra mile

And be like you

 

THE ULTIMATE VOLUNTEER
