Inspiration By Song

This Sunday, we are being inspired by Matthew West. Matthew writes beautiful, meaningful music that I absolutely love. I hope you are motivated and inspired by these two wonderful songs! :)

"There's a child

Been abandoned out on the street

Now she's waiting for someone to be her miracle

There's a wife

Somewhere halfway around the world


Begging God for a little girl she can call her own



Well worlds collide


And colors fade


And a man and wife


Brought their little girl home today






And there's one less


One less


One less broken heart in the world tonight


Yeah there's one less


One less


There's one less broken heart in the world tonight






We are called


To the widows and the orphans


But it's easy to ignore their silent cries


Oh but every single time


Somebody reaches into the darkness


Makes a choice to help the helpless


They let mercy save a life






And there's one less


One less


One less broken heart in the world tonight


Yeah there's one less


One less


Yeah there's one less broken heart in the world tonight






Well the truth is we are all the orphans


But love has left the 99 just to find the one






So let worlds collide


Colors fade


Let your life


Be the miracle today






One less


One less


One less broken heart in the world tonight


Tonight I know there's one less


One less


One less broken heart in the world tonight






One less child without a home


One less birthday gone forgotten


One more soul rising from the bottom






One less night alone


One less child without a home


One less birthday gone forgotten


One more soul rising from the bottom






One less


One less


One less broken heart in the world tonight."

These words are so incredibly true. You all know how much I adore orphans and adoption, so this song is totally up my alley. Be the miracle today... save a life... I hope that someday, I really can. Adoption is my heart! <3



"In my own little world it hardly ever rains


I’ve never gone hungry, 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 during Sunday morning church


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


I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see


Yeah,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






Well, I stopped at a red light, looked out my window


I saw a cardboard sign, said “Help this homeless widow”


Above that sign was the face of a human


and I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?”


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


I thought how many times have I just passed her by?


So I gave her some money then I drove on through


And my own little world reached


Population: two






What if there’s a bigger picture?


What if I’m missing out?


What if there’s a greater purpose


I should be living right now


Outside my own little world yeah, yeah


My own little world






Father break my heart for what breaks Yours


Give me open hands and open doors


and put Your Light in my eyes and let me see


That my own little world is not about me






What if there’s a bigger picture?


What if I’m missing out?


What if there’s a greater purpose


That I could be living right now


Well I don't wanna miss what matters


I wanna be reaching out


show me the greater purpose


so I could start living right now


Outside my own little world


My own little world yeah


My own little world."

A lot of us bloggers have been posting about the importance of reaching out to others and out of "our own little worlds".  Greater Purpose... It's not about me... We are put here on God's Earth to serve, and it's a beautiful thing to actually live that out.  J.O.Y.

Blessings!
