In shadows deep the righteous soul may tread
A heavy heart, a weary burdened head
The world may throw its darts with cruelest aim
And whisper doubts to fan the flickering flame
But hold your course let courage be your guide
Though trials mount like waves on every side
For even in the darkest deepest night
A spark of hope ignites a holy light
Though many wounds may pierce the faithful breast
And sorrows rob the spirit of its rest
The Lord is near a refuge in despair
He lifts the fallen with a tender care
From every snare His hand will set you free
He breaks the chains and grants you liberty
So trust in Him let faith your armor be
And find deliverance for eternity
Oh, let mercy be our song
As we walk where we belong
Not to judge but to embrace
Showing Jesus' loving grace
In His name we'll rise and see
The beauty of humanity
Meeting hearts where they reside
In His love we all abide
We see the broken lost in shadowed ways
Quick to condemn in judgment's blinding haze
But grace reminds us we're all stained within
Yet mercy's offered washing clean from sin
Instead of stones let's reach a helping hand
Walk in their shoes and try to understand
For every heart a story left untold
A chance to heal a future to unfold
God places us as beacons in the night
To guide the weary towards His saving light
Forget the pride that builds dividing walls
Embrace compassion answering His calls
Let's meet them where they are with open hearts
Plant seeds of love and play our humble parts
That all may see the Savior's gentle face
And find redemption in His warm embrace
Guide us Lord with gentle hand
To share Your love throughout the land
Open our eyes and fill our hearts
To play in life our humble parts
That all may know Your saving grace
And find redemption in this place
In Jesus' name we'll testify
Of hope and love that will never die
Forgive us, Lord, for eyes that quickly see
The flaws in others, blind to our decree
We cast our stones, forgetting we're the same
Lost in the darkness, needing grace to claim
Remind us, Lord, that every soul's in need
A broken vessel, longing to be freed
To see through eyes of love, a clearer view
And offer hope, as grace is offered new
Lead us to meet them where their spirits dwell
To share the story that we know so well
Of Jesus' love, a beacon in the night
A guiding star, to lead them to His light
May our compassion be a gentle guide
To show them mercy, with nothing to hide
That they may find redemption in His name
And know the peace that sets the captive free from shame
From judgment's chains set us free
To see with eyes of empathy
Transform our hearts renew our minds
To leave the world of hate behind
In every soul a spark divine
A chance to heal a chance to shine
Let's meet them there with love so true
And lead them to the light of You
Psalms 34 19
Dear God
Please forgive us for being judgemental. Help us remember that we are all sinners, and we must meet people where they are so we may tell them about Jesus. In Jesus' Name, Amen
