A collegue who recently came from overseas asked me this question today. If you were to name one social problem in Singapore today, what would it be?
I answered: that would be the lack of graciousness to one another (there was much hype about this in the newspapers recently). For example, not giving up seats to the people who need it more, slamming the door into people's faces ... ...
Well, she said. If you were to ask someone like this in my country, they would say poverty. I was like 0.0 ... ... and then to myself -;- ... ...
hmmm... I thought to myself. Is my life too sheltered? Am i oblivious to the things happening around me let alone around the world. Surely there are poor people here in Singapore.
I thank God for placing me in this place and in this time. I pray
Enable Your Servants (Give Me A Heart Of Compassion)
Jim Bailey
Verse 1:
Give me a heart of compassion
Give me a hope for the lost
Give me a passion for those
Who are broken and down
Lord, I am ready and willing
To serve the weak and the young
Help me to put into action
The words of this song
Chorus:
And enable Your servants
Enable Your servants
To preach good news
To preach good news
And enable Your servants
Enable Your servants
To preach good news
To preach good news
Verse 2:
I'll sing the songs of salvation
Boldly I'll speak out Your word
I'll let them know by my life
I will show You are Lord
I'll tell them all about Jesus
I'll tell them all about You
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
Or what it can do
Verse 3:
We're moving forward together
As one voice boldly proclaim
The old and the young will be strong
And we'll lift up Your name
On to the streets to the people
Every man, woman and child
And as we go You are with us
You've given Your power
