Lyrics Do for One - Ruslan

Do for One

At last a confession…
In an effort to be globally focused, I lost sight of what’s in front of me,
the locally hopeless
My ulterior motives got the best of me
Now here’s the rest of me…
Trying to reach the thousands, but ignoring my community.
Resentment to group…
self-preservation began fueling me
The fool in me, I thought I had it figured out
Now it’s time to live it out
What if I could touch one?
What if I could do for one what I would do for thousands?
What if I was more present in the moment that’s surrounding?
‘Cause the present, is where the presences of my God is found in.
So I gotta be more present and present this hope.
Serve and give when I’m
asked to do, when I part we spoke about changing this world one life at a time
If I touch one, you touch one-- that’s two lives on the line
And two turns into four and four turns into eight and eight turns into 40
‘cause more people relate
And before we have time to slow down and think and just wait, we’d have touched
a couple more thousand by speaking His grace.
Not just speaking,
but breathing and being his hands, so that the love of Jesus could reach the
most deviant man who’s far from God could be saved and be in his plan
‘Cause I was right there when someone reached out, when I couldn’t stand on my
own
Not just a hand out, but a hand up.
It’s not about pity, really helping
somebody stand up
Every scorner, every street corner in our city
In our block, in our region, call it the Hope Committee
So may this hope be pervasive, may this hope reach the nations.
When me and you
are long gone, may this be the way they remember us throughout the ages
It’s amazing that God used us to touch lives and bring change… It's beyond big
lights and big stages, building platforms to be famous, having lots of money,
so that you can have lots of friends.
But you can’t take none of that with you
in the end
All that matters is who we touch on this side of eternity and what’s in front
of us is where we begin
All that matters is who we touch on this side of eternity, and what’s in front
of us is where we begin
Let’s begin
