If I Had the World's Attention

If I had the whole world’s attention for just one day…

I’d teach them about Christ and how He lights my way.

If I had the entire world’s attention for just one day…

I’d share with them the fire the Lord instills in me.

I’d demonstrate all He asks me to be

I’d tell them how His Holy Spirit radiates thru me.

If I had the entire world’s attention for just one day…

I’d share with them His love, His devotion, and how He is THE way.

I’d share with them the love Jesus provides to the less fortunate, the mercy He grants to each of us, the grace he gives to all, the forgiveness he desires for each of us to receive.

If I had the world’s attention even for just one day…

I’d ask them to rise early and to pray.

We would pray for each one who does not yet know Him. We would pray for those who have found Him but have gone astray.

We’ll pray for those who are down trodden that they may not know He will carry them. We’d pray for those who know Him but are going to be tried today. (Tried in ways that will tempt them to turn from His loving embrace.)

We’d pray for those over whom no one else prays, that they might feel Jesus today.

If I had the world’s attention even for just one day…

We’d meet up with those who wouldn’t or couldn’t rise early and celebrate the start of their day.

We’d rejoice in God’s Truth that he is always with us along our way.

We’d celebrate the opportunity to rise and worship Him this day.

If I had the world’s attention even for just one day…

After rising early to pray,

Worshiping God and celebrating His miraculous ways,

We’d set out on a path to which He the guide.

We’d prepare our hands and minds to build His kingdom further.

We would walk across the street and lend our neighbors a hand of nurture.

Whether a season of joy or a season of remorse,

a season of trails or a tough course,

a season of tears or a season of loneliness,

a season of longing or a season of unhealthiness,

Maybe even a season of rest.

We would celebrate the joys and listen to the remorse,

Demonstrate His love for those in trails and His light for that tough course,

Provide a shoulder for the tears and a companion for the loneliness.

We would celebrate those in a season of good health and pray over those in a season of longing that God would reveal what those hearts are looking for…

We would pray for a hedge of protection for those in trials and tests that their reliance on God would allow perseverance even when our flesh wants to quit.

We would pray for the earthly body of those in poor health that God would provide healing and comfort whether in this world or the next.

We would relish the moments with those in a season of rest.

If I had the world’s attention even for just one day…

It wouldn’t be mine to keep, but mine to give away.

I’d give the day to Christ and put the focus on the Lord’s will.

I’d rise early to pray, worship and celebrate, show love to my neighbor, and then be still.

If I had the world’s attention even for just one day…

I’d remind each person to be still and simply dwell.

Dwell in the promises of our Almighty King.

Celebrate and Praise Him for His eternal reign.

If I had the world’s attention even for just one day…

I hope I’d live just like this each and every day.

Grateful to rise early and pray, pray, pray.

Giving the Lord worship and praise all along the way.

Showing love to my neighbor.

Then, completely resting in my Heavenly Father’s unearned favor.

I’d watch the sunset,

And be thankful for those I have met.

I’d thank the Lord for the chance to serve Him

And for His mercy to begin it tomorrow all over again.

If I had the world’s attention for even just one day.

I’d pray I demonstrate His Light, His Love, His Mercy in every possible way.

If I had the world’s attention for just one single day.
