The song I have chosen for you this week is 'A Place for me.' Given the Gospel story taken from Mark 6:7-13 the lyrics capture something of Christ's call to his disciples and how they are to act.
They are to be like him, available, unencumbered, aware of those open to healing and forgiveness and act in his name. May we be givers of that grace and also recipients.
"so they set off to preach repentance; and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them."
A place for me
Jesus ate with sinners
Seems there’s a place for me
He cast out the demons
Seems there’s a place for me
If I wander on the edges
Afraid and out of place
Jesus walks there with me
Offering his grace.
Jesus knows my questions
Seems there’s a place for me
My worries and addictions
Seems there’s a place for me
If I find myself just drifting
Wondering where to start
Jesus stands there with me
Offering his heart.
Yes, there’s a place for me
A place for me.
Jesus chose disciples
Is there a place for me?
Will you sit and listen?
Is there a place for me?
For I need some reassurance
Compassion and release
That Jesus is here with me
Offering his peace
Will you be disciple and
Eat my humble bread?
Will you be disciple and
Live like Jesus said?
It may not be so easy
Or comfortable for sure
But will you act for Jesus knocking at my door
Yes, there’s a place for me
A place for me
I maybe familiar
Or someone off the street
And even surprise you
When finally we meet
Never underestimate the power in your hands
And what it means to sit beside
Someone who understands
Yes, there’s a place for me
A place for me.
Yes, there’s a place for me
A place for me.
Blessings on your week.
