Population [more than me]

May we be challenged this Advent season, to look outside of our comfortable, wrapped up world, and seek something or someone greater than ourselves.

"My Own Little World" - Matthew West

In my own little world it hardly ever rains

I've never gone hungry or always felt safe

I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet

In my own little world

Population me

I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church

I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts

and I turn off the news when I don't like what I see

it's easy to do when it's

population me

What if there's a bigger picture

What if I'm missing out

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now

Outside my own little world

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window

Outside the car, saw a sign, said "Help this homeless widow"

Just above this sign was the face of a human

I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"

So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye

Oh how many times have I just passed her by

I gave her some money then I drove on through

in my own little world there's

Population two

What if there's a bigger picture

What if I'm missing out

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now

Outside my own little world

Start breaking my heart for what breaks Yours

Give me open hands and open doors

Put Your light in my eyes and let me see

That my own little world is not about me
