Happy 4th of July!!
Just two days away and we will be on our way to Africa. I was thinking this morning about our trip and why we are going. This song came to mind so I thought I would share the lyrics. It is called Hands and Feet (News Boys does this version).
"An image flashed across my T.V. screen
another broken heart comes into view
I saw the pain and I turned my back
Why can't I do the things I want to?
I am willing yet am so afraid
you give me strength when I say ...
I wanna be your hands
I wanna be your feet
I'll go where you send me, go where you send me
I'll be your hands
I'll be your feet
I'll go where you send me, go where you send me
And I'll try, yeah I'll try
to touch the world
like you touched my life
And I'll find my way
To be your hands
I'll abandon every selfish thought
I surrender everything I've got
You can have everything I am
And perfect everything I'm not
I am willing, I'm not afraid
you give me strength when I say ...
I wanna be your hands
I wanna be your feet
I'll go where you send me, go where you send me
I'll be your hands
I'll be your feet
I'll go where you send me, go where you send me
And I'll try, yeah I'll try
to touch the world
like you touched my life
And I'll find my way
This is the last time
I turn my back on you From now on I'll go out
send me where you want me to
I finally have a mission I promise I'll complete
I don't need excuses when I am your hands and feet
I am your hands and feet
I wanna be your hands
I wanna be your feet
I'll go where you send me, go where you send me
I'll be your hands
I'll be your feet
I'll go where you send me, go where you send me
I'll be your hands
I'll be your feet
I will go I will go where you send me
I will go I will go where you send me
I will go, go
I will go, go
I will GO!
Go where you send me
I wanna be your hands
I wanna be your feet"
... so off to Uganda we go :)

ReplyDeleteHi Gene and Luke,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you will be posting on your 2nd African adventure! I look forward to following you through the blog and I will be praying that you make a huge impact for the kingdom! I recently heard it said that Jesus resides with the poor, He is near to the brokenhearted. May you meet Him there. Please give Bosco a big hug from the Haines'!!
In Christ,

“Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself. It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver. Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.” -Swami Vivekananda
Hi Gene and Luke. Our prayers are with you both. Can't wait to see and read what an impact you will have on everyone there. Be safe and God bless!!
