"If just a cup of water I place within your hand
Then just a cup of water is
all that I demand," (whole song listed below)
Sometimes, I want to do much more than I can do. God has given me what talents and abilities that he has seen fit to give me and sometimes, (most times), I can only do a little bit of the many ideas I get, to help others. Today, the choir sang this song and God helped me to focus on that line above and gave me peace, that it is ok that I don't do all the things others do to help people and bless people. If all He gives me strength to do is a little bit, then He will bless that little bit. Praise God!!!
... And maybe if I quit trying to do more than I can do, I won't be so tired that I miss out on those 'cups of water' he blesses me with, to share!
lyrics from the hymn: "Follow Me" by By Ira Stamphill
I traveled down a lonely road and no one seemed to
care,
The burden on my weary back had bowed me to despair,
I oft
complained to Jesus how folks were treating me,
And then I heard Him so so
tenderly,
"My feet were also weary upon the Calv'ry road,
The cross
became so heavy I fell beneath the load,
Be faithful weary pilgrim, the
morning I can see,
Just lift your cross and follow close to me."
"I
work so hard for Jesus" I often boast and say,
"I've sacrificed a lot of
things to walk the narrow way,
I gave up fame and fortune; I'm worth a lot
to thee,"
And then I heard Him gently say to me,
"I left the throne of
glory and counted it but loss,
My hands were nailed in anger upon a cruel
cross,
But now we'll make the journey with your hand safe in mine,
So
lift your cross and follow close to me."
Oh Jesus if I die upon a
foreign field someday
'Twould be no more than love demands, no less could I
repay,
"No greater love hath mortal man than for a friend to die,"
These
are the words he gently spoke to me,
"If just a cup of water I place within
your hand
Then just a cup of water is all that I demand,"
But if by
death to living they can thy glory see,
I'll take my cross and follow close
to thee.

Amen that is a beautiful song, and yes sometimes we get so busy serving, we forget to worship and praise the one whom we are serving. Love you and love that song, do you have the music for it or the sheet music?
