Do for One - Ruslan

At last a confession…

In an effort to be globally focused, I lost sight of what’s in front of me,

the locally hopeless

My ulterior motives got the best of me

Now here’s the rest of me…

Trying to reach the thousands, but ignoring my community.

Resentment to group…

self-preservation began fueling me

The fool in me, I thought I had it figured out

Now it’s time to live it out

What if I could touch one?

What if I could do for one what I would do for thousands?

What if I was more present in the moment that’s surrounding?

‘Cause the present, is where the presences of my God is found in.

So I gotta be more present and present this hope.

Serve and give when I’m

asked to do, when I part we spoke about changing this world one life at a time

If I touch one, you touch one-- that’s two lives on the line

And two turns into four and four turns into eight and eight turns into 40

‘cause more people relate

And before we have time to slow down and think and just wait, we’d have touched

a couple more thousand by speaking His grace.

Not just speaking,

but breathing and being his hands, so that the love of Jesus could reach the

most deviant man who’s far from God could be saved and be in his plan

‘Cause I was right there when someone reached out, when I couldn’t stand on my

own

Not just a hand out, but a hand up.

It’s not about pity, really helping

somebody stand up

Every scorner, every street corner in our city

In our block, in our region, call it the Hope Committee

So may this hope be pervasive, may this hope reach the nations.

When me and you

are long gone, may this be the way they remember us throughout the ages

It’s amazing that God used us to touch lives and bring change… It's beyond big

lights and big stages, building platforms to be famous, having lots of money,

so that you can have lots of friends.

But you can’t take none of that with you

in the end

All that matters is who we touch on this side of eternity and what’s in front

of us is where we begin

All that matters is who we touch on this side of eternity, and what’s in front

of us is where we begin

Let’s begin
