Think Beyond
Think Beyond
Wes Tillett
Think beyond yourself just for once
Think beyond yourself and your four walls
For life does not consist
In the abundance of your things
See beyond the next immediate
See beyond your earthly, blink-long life
For life is more precious
Than your dollars and your cents
Be content with what you’ve got, my friend
Learn to say, “Enough. Enough for me.”
Learn to share with those in need, my friend
For the Lord held nothing back from you, you see, in Christ
Go beyond what’s comfortable for you
Go beyond your preferences and tastes
For life cannot be full
With yourself the only goal
Give beyond what others give to you
Give beyond your Sunday morning dues
For life is found in Christ
And He gave his very life
Be content with what you’ve got, my friend
Learn to say, “Enough. Enough for me.”
Learn to share with those in need, my friend
For the Lord held nothing back from you, you see, in Christ
If you choose to love you life, you’ll lose it
But if you choose to hate your life, you’ll gain it forever in Christ
Lord, I want to live my life as a sincere act of praise; as a holy light
Lord, I wanna be whole in you.
My God, don’t let me build my dreams on the tops of the graves of the poor and the least of these
Lord, I wanna be whole in you
Lord God, forgive my lust and my greed; my short-sighted trust in the American dream
I wanna be whole in you
Lord, higher up and further in.
Lord, higher up
