the people sing.

i want to be .. me.

i want to be .. surprised by hope.

i want to be .. different today.

i want to be .. an influential nobody.

i want to .. know my neighbours by name.

i want to be .. more than i am today.

i want to .. care enough to grieve.

i want to .. make you proud.

i want to .. see the world as you see it.

i want to .. take small steps, not dream of giant leaps.

Isaiah 58:6-8
6 "This is the fast day I'm after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts.

7 What I'm interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad.

8 Do this and the lights will turn on, and your lives will turn around at once. Your righteousness will pave your way. The God of glory will secure your passage.

i want to be .. a history maker.
