I Must Share
by Barbara Philbrook

I must share what God has done for me,
because I want others to know my new found serenity.

I want others to rise to the same glorious delight,
of knowing God is beside them day and night.

I want others to have the same inner peace I do,
of knowing nothing is impossible for God and you.

I want others to be healed of the scars of the past,
to know that feeling hopeless will never again last.

Never again to feel utterly alone or at wits end,
knowing if they are needed, an army of angels God will send.

I must share out of my new unconditional love,
desiring all to know what's offered to them from above.

I must share so each and every soul makes their own choice,
to accept or reject with their own voice.

I must share till my time on earth is ended,
so in the end none of my acquaintances will be offended.

So I won't hear "Why didn't you tell me?
I would have chosen too if I could only see."

I must share the need coming from deep within.
It's one of the changes God promised would begin.

My desires no longer center on my need,
but on the hunger of others and providing food to feed.

I must share the hope I have for eternity,
and extend the invitation for others to join God's family.

Won't you accept the invitation Jesus is extending?
It will bring you peace and life unending.
