Be Kind and Compassionate

Camels can drink a significant amount of water when they are rehydrating. On average, a thirsty adult camel can consume anywhere from 20 to 40 gallons (75 to 150 liters) of water in a single drinking session. This remarkable ability to drink large quantities of water allows camels to endure long periods without access to water in arid desert environments. Their bodies can store this water efficiently, helping them stay hydrated during their travels through dry regions. Imagine traveling with ten camels. How many gallons of water will it take to make sure that all of them have enough water? That’s a lot of gallons!

“Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭24:18‬)

In Genesis 24, we encounter Abraham’s faithful servant, Eliezer, on a mission to find a suitable wife for Abraham’s son, Isaac. This quest led him to a well in the city of Nahor, where he hoped to discover a woman who not only offered him water but also demonstrated genuine compassion by extending her kindness to his camels. Eliezer of Damascus, the servant of Abraham had prayed a simple prayer:
“Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”‭‭ (Genesis‬ ‭24:12‭-‬14‬).

The level of Rebekah’s generosity should not be underestimated. She replied to the servant: “Drink, my lord,” and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭24:18‭-‬20‬). While providing water to Eliezer was a kind gesture in itself, her willingness to draw enough water for all his camels was an extraordinary act. This would have entailed fetching over 200 gallons of water from the well—a task that required strength, endurance, and genuine compassion.

Her dedication to completing the task thoroughly showcased her diligence and hard work. It’s a valuable reminder that acts of kindness may sometimes be arduous and time-consuming, but they’re well worth the effort. Rebekah’s selfless act serves as a compelling example of going the extra mile to meet the needs of others.

One notable aspect of Rebekah’s kindness is her proactive approach. Eliezer’s request was as simple as asking for a little water from her jar. However, Rebekah didn’t merely fulfill the basic request. She initiated a series of actions, quenching the servant’s thirst, and only then did she offer to water the camels without his asking. Rebekah’s proactive attitude highlights the importance of taking the first step in helping others. Instead of waiting for specific requests, we can choose to act voluntarily and offer our assistance, showing our willingness to alleviate the needs of those we encounter.

Rebekah’s actions at the well mirror the culture of hospitality that was prevalent in her time. Her readiness to welcome a stranger and his camels, providing not only for his needs but those of his animals as well, reflects the significance of showing genuine compassion and hospitality to those we meet. Are we, too, hospitable in our interactions with others, or do we merely go through the motions of courtesy? Rebekah’s example encourages us to extend hospitality by providing assistance to both individuals and their associated responsibilities.

Rebekah’s immediate response to a stranger’s request showcases her compassionate nature. Her actions were not guided by a sense of obligation but by her desire to assist. It reminds us that true kindness and compassion are not hindered by fear or hesitancy but flow naturally from an open heart. This compassionate response urges us to be more attentive to the needs of others and be ready to help without hesitation when it’s within our means. Acts of compassion and kindness should be genuine, heartfelt, and offered without reservation.

For Rebekah, her acts of kindness were not isolated incidents but part of a higher calling. They were in obedience to a divine plan designed to provide for those in need. Just as Rebekah’s actions aligned with God’s plan for her to become Isaac’s wife, our acts of kindness should be grounded in our commitment to fulfill a greater purpose—offering help and care to those who need it most.

In a world where self-centeredness and indifference often prevail, Rebekah’s story encourages us to go above and beyond, displaying kindness and compassion to everyone we meet. The lessons from this remarkable woman’s life teach us that acts of goodwill are most meaningful when they come from an open heart, a willingness to serve others, and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place—one act of kindness at a time.

The widow of Nain: Divine restoration

Divine restoration is one of the themes that runs through the ministry of Jesus. When one receives Divine restoration, something that was lost is returned back to its original state. Jesus made it clear in His ministry that “the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10; Matthew 18:11). Bringing the lost back to their old state is the divine restoration. Jesus also performed amazing miracles such as healing the sick and raising the dead back to life. These miracles were very significant to the people who benefited from it. Also, Jesus’ fame spread far and wide because the testimonies of these miracles were shared in the surrounding towns and cities. One beneficiary of such an extraordinary encounter was a widow. This woman would be referred to as the widow of Nain because her real name was not mentioned in the Bible. Nain is only mentioned in the Bible in connection with the miraculous encounter between Jesus and the restoration of the son of the widow.

As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. (Luke 7:12)

According to the gospel of Luke, Jesus’ encounter in Nain happened sometime after the miraculous restoration of the servant of the centurion. Jesus and His disciples went to a town called Nain, and a large crowd went along with him (Luke 7:11). Obviously the fame of Jesus had spread abroad so everywhere He went, people followed Him to catch a glimpse of God’s power at work. Luke 7:12 states that, as Jesus approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out and this dead person was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Following the widow and the bier carrying the dead son was a large crowd from the town. Imagine the pain of this widow. She had lost her husband and now her only son was dead. Thus, her lineage was at risk of being cut off. Who would extend her lineage? The only lamp of hers had been snuffed off. The widow would have been extremely sad and hopeless. Walking behind the bier, this widow would have questioned God and her faith in the God of Israel.

The people walking along with her might have tried to comfort this widow. Her pain might have touched the heart of the town. She had no husband and no one to take care of her. In this very sad and hopeless situation, Jesus intercepted the bier carriers. When Jesus saw the widow, His heart went out to her (compassionate) and He said, “Don’t cry.” (Luke 7:13). At that instant, Jesus’ words might have calmed the widow briefly but she would have still been sad within her. The widow might have heard of the fame of Jesus or she might have not. However, she allowed Jesus to intercept her mourning. She didn’t rant at Jesus for interrupting the funeral of her son. Sometimes, we need to leave the situation into the hands of Jesus and allow Him to interrupt our own plans. The plan for this funeral was to carry the dead man and to bury Him. That was not the plan of Jesus. If the widow had stuck to her own plan, she would have missed the perfect miracle. Our plans without God could potentially lead to doom.

Jesus went up and touched the bier they were carrying the dead man on, and the bearers stood still. Jesus said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother (Luke 7:14‭-‬15). Imagine the shock and the happiness! The man was being carried to the grave but Jesus gave a change of trajectory. The dead man was restored back to life and instead of the grave, he went back home with his mother.
This was no small encounter. The people were all filled with awe and praised God saying: “A great prophet has appeared among us. God has come to help his people.” And this news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country (Luke 7:16‭-‬17). The power of Jesus brought divine restoration to the hopeless widow.

Nothing is impossible for the Lord. If we give Him the first place in our plans, and allow Him to interfere with our plans, His results are always mind-blowing testimonies. Remember, until the widow met Jesus, her son remained dead. But, after she encountered Jesus and allowed Him to take charge of the situation, the story changed. Who is in charge of your life? Who is driving the affairs of your life? Jesus or you?

Jehosheba: The woman on rescue mission

There are many great men and women who are celebrated today because they risked their own lives to save the lives of other people who were facing persecution. For example, Nazi Germany’s state sponsored Holocaust killed about six million European Jews. During this mass murder operation, there were people who risked their lives to save the Jewish people and this included a Polish woman named Irena Sendler. Irena Sendler successfully rescued 2,500 Jewish children out of the Ghetto in Warsaw, Poland. Her brave action saw the lives of 2,500 people saved. Irena Sandler might not be a household name because until recently,  not many people heard of her heroic act. Similarly,  there were men and women who risked their lives to rescue others in the Bible. These people knew that their action was tantamount to death if they were caught, but they did it anyway. One such woman in history is Jehosheba. Her name might not sound familiar to you and it is possible that you might not have heard any sermon that ever mentioned her name. Jehosheba risked her life to save her brother’s son. The son she saved, rose up to become the king of Judah. 

But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed. (2 Kings 11:2 NIV)

In a previous post, we considered how Athaliah, the mother of king Ahaziah deliberately wiped out the royal family when she realized her son Ahaziah had been killed. Athaliah was brute and she wasn’t ready to spare a soul. She was so wicked and heartless that she was ready to kill her own grandson and any other person who identified as a royal. The opposite of Athaliah is Jehosheba. While Athaliah’s vengeance cared less of her own family members, Jehosheba’s compassion led her on a dangerous mission. She could have been killed by Athaliah if her action was found. Jehosheba went on a rescue mission. The story of Jehosheba’s rescue of Joash is recorded in 2 Kings 11:2 and 2 Chronicles 22:11. The 2 Kings 11: 2 account states that, “But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed.” In 2 Chronicles 22:11b we get to know that, “Because Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child from Athaliah so she could not kill him.” Thus, Jehosheba was not just an aunt to Joash, she was also the wife of the priest, Jehoiada. 

In other words, both Athaliah and Jehosheba were public figures. Athaliah was the mother of the late king and Jehosheba was the sister of the late king and the wife of the priest. These two women all had some sort of power. Athaliah used her own power to take away lives. Jehosheba, on the other hand, used her power to save a life. Jehosheba’s compassion is a typology of the compassion God has for us. Jehosheba saw in Joash a helpless baby who was likely to be killed by a heartless woman. Jehosheba risked everything to hide Joash and his nurse. The wicked Athaliah could have killed Jehosheba for that rescue mission, but Jehosheba still went ahead and saved a soul. Six years after this rescue mission, Joash, then seven years old, was crowned as a king (2 Kings 11:21). The evil Athaliah received the wages of her sins, she was killed (2 Kings 11:15‭-‬16). King Joash had his own flaws but he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him (2 Kings 12:2). Joash did some major repairs on the temple of God in Jerusalem (2 Kings 12:1-16). 

The story of Jehosheba teaches us to have compassion for the poor, weak and vulnerable. We also learn that whatever position we find ourselves can be used to save lives or to waste lives. We identify that sometimes, taking the stand for the good could be risky but it pays off in the long term. Jehosheba teaches us that women can play significant roles even if they work in the background. You don’t necessarily need to be the queen to fight, you can be the wife and still be a warrior. Women who look forward to a bigger stage to do exploits might end up doing nothing but those who create their own opportunities even in the unlikely situations would be celebrated. Don’t be comfortable in your small space, be a Jehosheba who identifies the wrong and fix it with the right. 

The slave girl and Naaman’s wife: A testimony of love and compassion

Whenever we are hurt or maltreated by the actions of the people around us, our first response is to feel bad and feel bitterness towards those that hurt us. In fact, it takes another level of maturity to go to the one who made life miserable for you and let the person know that you have forgotten them from the depth of your heart. Forgiveness does not come easily because the presence of the person or people who caused you the pain, is a constant reminder. As believers, we have been shown the greatest love and mercy. Our sins were forgiven and paid for by the astonishing sacrifice of God’s own Son (Romans 3:24; Romans 6:23). Therefore, we are able to demonstrate God-kind of love to others because God first loved us (1 John 4:19, 21). The message of the salvation of God was foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. This post will focus on two women who, though from different cultures, religious backgrounds and moral upbringing, came together and experienced a perfect miracle. Their combined efforts brought salvation (healing) to a mighty man with a mighty skin problem. 

Israel had lots of enemy nations and one of these was Aram. In the past, it was common to see raiders from enemy nations invading into another territory to steal, kill and destroy. Does that ring a bell? (see John 10:10). They also take the young people as captives and the old, weak and feeble ones are either left behind or killed. So, bands of raiders from Aram invaded an Israelite city, took captive a young girl from Israel. She became a servant in the house of Naaman, serving Naaman’s wife (2 Kings 5:2). Naaman was no ordinary person, he was commander of the army of the king of Aram. Thus, he was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded. Through him the Lord had given victory to Aram and he was a valiant soldier. But, Naaman had an unusual skin disease. He had leprosy (2 Kings 5:1). He was so mighty but yet vulnerable. The slave girl from Israel could have felt pain and resentment towards Naaman and his family. She could have concluded that Naaman’s leprosy was a curse from God for the evil Naaman had committed against Israel. She could have cursed Naaman and his family and released the punishment of God upon them. Afterall, that is our first response when we are hurt. She was wrongfully taken from her parents and turned into a slave. Ah! She had every right to pay Naaman and the Arameans back for their sins.

Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.” (2 Kings 5:2‭-‬3)

On the contrary, this slave girl said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy” (2 Kings 5:3). She wanted her master cured. She desired to see her master’s skin restored to normal. Naaman’s wife did not consider it disrespectful for her slave girl to talk about her husband’s health condition. Naaman’s wife knew that the gods of the Arameans are not the same as the God of Israel. She knew that going down to Israel for healing automatically implied that the God of Israel is far more powerful than the gods in Aram. Mrs. Naaman did not delay. She informed her husband about the possibility of being healed in Israel. Her husband informed the king of Aram whose response was this: “By all means, go” and “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold and ten sets of clothing (2 Kings 5:5). When the convoy from Aram arrived in the Palace of the king of Israel, the king of Israel was confused. He didn’t even believe that there was a prophet of God in the land who was powerful enough to pray for the healing of Naaman. The king of Israel’s faith was not as strong as that of the king of Aram, Naaman, the slave girl and Naaman’s wife. The king of Israel tore his robes after reading the letter and said, “Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!” (2 Kings 5:7).

When the prophet Elisha heard this, he requested for Naaman to be sent to him. Elisha did not even leave his house to speak with Naaman. Just as Naaman commanded an army, Elisha commanded the power of God. Elisha sent a messenger to say to Naaman, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed” (2 Kings 5:10). Initially,  Naaman hesitated but after being convinced by his servants, he obeyed the words of Elisha. Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy (2 Kings 5:14). Naaman’s miracle was initiated by the slave girl, heralded by the wife, Naaman’s faith took him to the king of Aram and the king’s word took him to Israel. The women players in this massive miracle show that God is able to use anyone no matter your location and status (slave or freed) to perform wonders. The slave girl had experienced pain and hurt from Aram, but she paid back with love and compassion. At the end of the day, the pagan commander came to know and experience the God of Israel. Naaman’s response was this: “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel” (2 Kings 5:15).

Bitterness is cancerous. It zaps the soul and opens up the believer for demonic manipulation. When you forgive, you free yourself for greater works. Be merciful for you have been shown mercy. 

Two prostitutes and one living baby

The Bible is made of women who took diverse roles and responsibilities. However, there were also women who had a profession of attracting men and sleeping with them for money. Why would the Holy Book mention accounts of different prostitutes? First, we know that God, since Genesis has been seeking for the sinner including the prostitutes. He calls all humanity to Himself. Further, knowledge that prostitutes, that is a group of people scorned by society could end up in God’s Holy Book, gives the assurance that none is too bad to be saved. Again, we learn lessons from some of the ways these people were transformed from nobodies to history makers (see Rahab). Although some of the women became prostitutes for selfish reasons (Tamar), we still see how God used their low lives to bring His bigger picture. Male and female prostitution is sinful and sexual immorality has no place in Heaven (Revelation 2:15). We shall consider two prostitutes who presented their case for king Solomon. 

Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. (1 Kings 3:16)

In 1 Kings 3:15-28, we see the story of two prostitutes who had a bad quarrel and definitely needed some help. I am not sure if there were any birth control remedies for these prostitutes as their business could lead to pregnancies. These two prostitutes got pregnant and gave birth around the same time (3 days interval) and lived alone in their house (1 Kings 3: 18). One night, one of the women laid on her baby and the baby died. She woke up and took the living baby of the other woman and placed her dead baby in its place. Although the children were almost of the same age, the mother of the living baby realized that her baby had been taken and a dead one had been placed in his stead. In our modern-day, the king would have requested a blood test or even DNA test to know whose child is dead and whose child is alive. But these technologies were not available in the days of Solomon. The two prostitutes continued to quarrel before the king. One says, ‘the living child is mine’ and the other says, ‘the living child is mine’. How do you resolve this issue in 1000 BCE?

King Solomon must have been surprised to see the two women arguing for a living baby and none accepting the ownership of the dead baby. The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’ ” (1 Kings 3:23). Through the wisdom of God, the king gave this verdict: “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.” (1 Kings 3:24‭-‬25). This test of compassion quickly yielded results. The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my Lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!” But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!” (1 Kings 3:26). The woman who had the living baby would prefer the son alive and with the other woman than to see him die. On the other hand, the one with the dead baby wanted the living one killed as well. She had no compassion for the innocent baby because she was not the mother! 

This was the judgement of the king: “Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.” (1 Kings 3:27). The wise judgement stunned all Israel. “When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.” (1 Kings 3:28).

The two prostitutes did not know that their quarrel would end up in the Bible. Thousands of years later, we still read about their story and how the wisdom of God was clearly displayed in the judgement. 

Pharaoh’s daughter: Receiving compassion from the least expected people

Have you ever received love from the least expected person? How did that make you feel? Did you believe God used such people to show you that He still cares? Personally, I have experienced exceptional care and support from the people I least expected. I have been to hospital and other patients have forgotten their own illness to show me care and affection. I have heard other patients tell me, “I will be praying for you” at a time when I expected them to be praying for their own recovery. Such exceptional compassion is healing and it helps us to understand that God can use the least expected people to demonstrate His love towards us. There are times that the people we expect to care and show love just look on as if nothing matters. Their “I don’t care attitude” does not mean God does not care. The truth is people can only offer what they have. If they don’t have love, they cannot give it. It is only God who can cause the loveless person to demonstrate unexpected compassion. I hope that we experience the love of God from the least expected people. God still works, and when it’s time for Him to come to Your aid, even the devil can be sent to help you. Surely He is the God who sees your pain!

She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. (Exodus 2:6‭, ‬9)

Jochebed and Amram’s very fine baby could have died not for the hand of God. Exodus 1-2 shows the harsh attitude of Pharaoh towards the Hebrews. In such a toxic environment, the attitude among the Hebrews was “each one for Himself and God for us all.” No person was brave enough to save another from the evil clutches of Pharaoh. In fact, Jochebed and Amram could not save their own son. Therefore, the three-month- old baby was prepared for the Nile. Jochebed and Miriam (the baby’s sister) played excellent roles in this rescue mission. You can read about them in the previous posts. However, the exceptional personality in this rescue mission was Pharaoh’s daughter. Her father had decreed the death of all Hebrews baby boys. As a loyal daughter, the expectation was for her to support her father’s edict. She could have given the baby she found on the Nile to the soldiers to kill. She could have personally drowned the baby or just ignored him to his fate. But, God was determined to save this baby and that was exactly what He did. When Pharaoh’s daughter picked the tar coated basket, “she opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said” (Exodus 2:6). Her compassion for the baby drew the attention of Miriam who was watching from afar. When this Hebrew girl had the audacity to request Pharaoh’s daughter to allow her to get a nanny for her baby, Pharaoh’s daughter did not scream at her for trying to manipulate her. When Miriam brought in Jochebed, Pharaoh’s daughter said, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him.” (Exodus 2:9).

Indeed God is no respecter of person. He chose the least expected woman to demonstrate His love. From all indications, Moses’ adoptive mum brought him up well. For the first few years of his life, Moses was given Hebrew training and upbringing. When he was old enough to return to the palace of Pharaoh, Moses went through all the training needed as a Prince of Egypt. He might have learnt the art of leadership, reading, writing,  archiving (which was a big thing in Egypt). He would have been introduced to documentation and recording of daily activities in the palace. As a Prince, he would have been prepared as a warrior. No wonder he easily killed the Egyptian (Exodus 2:12). He would have been taught Egyptian laws and mystical traditions. His exposure led to the instrumental role he played in the documentation of the first 5 books of the Bible. This all started with one person’s show of love, Pharaoh’s daughter’s exceptional devotion to Moses. In our days, adoptive parents can learn valuable lessons from Pharaoh’s daughter. She did not birth Moses, but she picked a fearful baby and turned him into a national leader. 

The Fatherhood of God: The Father of mercies and God of all comfort.

Three months to our marriage, my father-in-law went to be with the Lord. it was a very painful time. My husband was still in Norway for his studies and I was dealing with a certain disappointment before my father-in-law passed on. So who will comfort us? The most painful part was that the funeral was fixed on the date my husband was writing his exams. Considering the hundreds of miles between Ghana and Norway and the pain of losing a father, we were all in deep pain. My husband recounts that there were nights he could not sleep at all. In the midst of our pain, we cried out to God for comfort. God comforted the family and showed us mercy. He took the very garment of mourning and gave us a garment of praise. He restored our joy. He reminded us of His Fatherhood: “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me (Psalm 27: 10).

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, (2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJV)

This week is the culmination of Father’s Day celebration. While many look forward to the day with anticipation, others are reminded of the pain of lost, the absence of an earthly father, and the delay in one’s desire to be a father (biologically). These reasons whether good or bad can influence us and affect our relationship with God and with one another. The Lord is our Father and He is full of compassion: He empathize with our pain. He is merciful: He forgives our sins and iniquities. He is the God of comfort: He strengthens us in time of need. God’s Fatherhood is by choice and you can experience Him fully if you make Him your father.

In Isaiah 49:15, the Lord asked: “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?” Then He replied that: “Though she may forget, I will not forget you!” Sometimes, situations in life may cause us to conclude that God does not care about us. He is our Father, and He cares about us. When we understand that His Fatherhood is through the waters, the valleys and the mountains, our general responds should be:
“Give me you
Everything else can wait
Give me you
I hope I’m not too late
Lord, give me you (4x)
‘Cause it’s me, oh Lord
I’m on my knees
Crying out to you
It’s me, oh Lord
I’m on my knees
So, give me you
Give me you”
(Shana Wilson, 2012)
