To the very same

Supernatural miracle,

Of God's amazing grace,

That softens

Hardened hearts,

And makes us one

In mind and heart

With our Creator.2 Corinthians 5:171 John 4:20-21

For just as surely,

As we cannot wash

A table full of dirty dishes,

Without our own fingers

Getting cleaner with it,

Nor can we help our neighbor

Wash his muddy car,

Without our own hands,

Getting softer

In the soapy water,

So too,

With all the Lord

Has promised He will do.

For neither can we

Stoop to wash the feet

Of one another,Luke 7:36-50

Nor can we seek

To bind the wounds,

Or heal the hurts

Of one another,

Without our own hands

Getting cleaner,

And without our own heart

Getting softer,

In the soapy water

Of the Spirit,

Of He who did the same.John 13:2-14

For it wasn't

Just the act,

Of Naaman dipping

In the river seven times,

That healed him.

It was the fact,

That it symbolized the fact,

That if we seek to feed

The needs of others first,

All the time,

Even when we only have

A mustard seed of faith,

Or peace of mind,Zechariah 7:8-10

Then He who healed

Naaman's leprosy,

Has promised

He will also heal,
