I don't know if you're familiar with J.J. Heller's music or not, but she has a peaceful, sweet voice. Two of her songs can be found on my playlist to the right. Since starting this Relentless Acts of Justice journey, as well as other issues that have been on my mind, one of her songs really opened up some emotions-- "What Love Really Means". You may want to take a listen. As I've thought of the poor, needy, oppressed, and destitute during the past two weeks, I've also thought about the conditions that some of our brothers and sisters live in. The first verse of this song fits so well and then I just penned another verse of my own that asks "who will love them for Him"?
"What Love Really Means" by J.J. Heller
He cries in the corner where nobody sees.
He's the kid with the story no one would believe.
He prays every night "Dear God won't you please...
Could you send someone here who will love me?"
Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become.
Who will love me for me?
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means.
(My addition)
She's a woman who's scorned
by those all around.
She feels of no worth
And poverty abounds.
Her children are sick and no food to provide.
She must choose to provide before somebody dies.
Who will love them for Him?
Not for where they were born
But from the love that's within.
Who will love them for Him?
Reach deep down inside and see what you find...
Will you love them for Him?
