Empowering the disabled

There’s no discrimination in Christ Jesus
Whatever your disability the Lord can use you
According to world standards you’re among the lower classes
But in God’s eyes you’re seated in heavenly places in Christ

Unfit, unemployable, no room in the inn
Compelled to carry heavy crosses alone
Persecuted, despised, scorned, scourged by tongues
Abandoned outside the gate of the rich to beg for crumbs

In our Father’s house are many mansions
Room enough for all who place their faith in Christ
Freedom to follow the dictates of the Holy Spirit
To walk in love, joy and peace with those who believe

None are exempted, no class, colour or creed barriers
Come just as you are, no skills or abilities required
No restrictions, only one command, love one another
Each free to operate in his own comfort zone

Your mission, to spread love throughout the nation
Using your disabilities to locate compassionate hearts
Compel them to join the circle of love
To isolate and insulate hatred and violence

Fields are white, ready for harvest
Separate sheep from goats wheat from tares
Love is the key, whoever fed and clothed the needy will enter
Those without oil in their lamps will hear “I never knew you.”
