Church today
With godly men
Filled with pain
Forgotten gain
Living life without a net
Responsibility bereft
Because of mental loss
Or burdened by their cost
Addictions galore
Their dead at the core
Speaking Christ to them
Giving them a chance to win
Judgments set aside
Life disgusting
With all its bribe
To stay the way they are
And yet the chance is here
The homeless can find a way
To gain a renewed say
In what they do each day
Their value is in Christ
Not in how they last
Equipping them to change
To claim a life with gain
Gain that values them
A life that’s free of sin
Everyday is new
Responsibility grew
And then one day they are new
The journey often confused
But Christ is always here
Giving the will to win
Whole and clean
Christ is king
Life is renewed
The Lord will use you
