Can you just walk away?..."Sing His Song"

In 1992, Germán's main position in the mission was that of "Director of Field Services". Missionaries can be very busy with their ministries and it takes valuable time to do things like take cars to the mechanic, go to the post office, or find a printer to do prayer letters. To free them up,  HCJB had its own mail room, auto shop, print shop, etc. Germán oversaw these, plus areas like maintenance, telephone system, and security. 

He added a special touch: Bible studies with the personnel of each department. He wanted to be available to them, aware of the fact that their staff's personal problems are often overlooked  by busy leaders.

                                           Sing His Song

              If you know what to say to the spirit that's broken,
              can you just walk away and leave the words unspoken? 
              Healing notes are on the tip of your tongue,
              but your pride makes you want to leave the Song unsung.                                                      

               
Don't leave God's song of healing unsung.
Don't leave His act of mercy undone.
Sing His Song!  Won't you dare
to show your hurting brother that you care?

Sing His Song!  Love's healing song!
It's through you that God can show how much He cares.

If you feel the despair that in his eyes you've read,
can you just walk away and leave the tears unshed?
Words of hope can pierce the shadow he wears...
do you give in to shame and leave God's love unshared?
                                                           
                Don't leave the tears of comfort unshed.
                Don't leave the words of kindness unsaid.
                Sing His Song!  Sing His Song!
                Show your hurting brother that you care.

                Sing His Song! Love's healing song!
                It's through you that God can show how much He cares.

No matter where we live, where we work, what we do, or what position we have, we come in contact with people who are hurting and need Jesus to hug them and encourage them through us.  If we know The Answer, are we willing to share Him?

God bless each of you who reads this.  See you next time!

  1. "If you know what to say to the spirit that's broken, can you just walk away and leave the words unspoken?" and "Don't leave God's song of healing unsung. / Don't leave His act of mercy undone." are especially powerful lines.
