Die Empty: By Mark Lingenfelter
If we don't go,
How will they know?
And if they don't know,
Where will they go?
If he leads you,
Will you follow?
To the ends of the earth,
Until you are hollow?
What took you so long?
Why didn't you come sooner?
The people are numerous,
But the goers are fewer.
Break me, Oh LORD.
Use me and mold me.
I pray, Oh LORD,
That no other control me.
Have you fulfilled this life?
Is your thumbprint on this land?
A thumbprint on this world,
Which is in the palm of his hand.
Your part is small,
But if you don't, none will.
A ripple in a pond,
One more dies filled.
Filled with God's plan,
To return their part.
Give your life.
Give your whole heart.
Die empty for he who made you ...
