This song has recently become a favorite as i have just been introduced to this artist. I found my self singing it over and over to myself as i was taking care of a patient last night at work who had some very chronic and dibilitating illnesses and low quality of life and no family around, totally dependent on care (and that from a guardian assigned by the state).. this song, (or the one line of it that i could remember, was a very good attitude check for me)
Least of These - song by Lane Oliver
judgement and lies, why do you critize
judgemental ears why can't you hear their crys
cuz your only thinking about yourself....
and your only looking to your left when you know whats right and you decide to run
what you have done to the least of these.. you have also done to me
to see beyond what you can see to a heart thats broken
alone on the run, the damage already done
they look for a hand to lovingly lead them home
but your standing in the blink of an eye
for another blessing to fall from the sky
you've perfected blindness as your comfort zone
what you have done to the least of these.. you have also done to me
to see beyond what you can see to a heart thats broken
cuz You were once in bondage too
but someone else's love saw you
You meet me when you meet their needs
Lay down your life for the least of these
Because you make the blind to see, you can meet my deapest need
Because you gave up everything and chose to die, I can live
here in your presence there's no doubt
you are eternal living God, so I am giving you my all
[you are my hands you are my feet my flesh and blood that they can see
awaken from the rising sleep thats falling on your eyes]
what you have done to the least of these you have also done to me
to see beyond what you can see to a heart thats broken
cuz You were once in bondage too
but someone else's love saw you
You meet me when you meet their needs
Lay down your life for the least of these
