WHO? ME? by Ray Eddy

Moses would not respond to God’s call to serve Him. To get his attention God created a burning bush. Only when Moses saw the burning bush did God get his attention. After reading the account in Genesis about this burning bush, I wrote the following:

SO WHO NEEDS A BURNING BUSH
ONCE I HEARD A MAN SAY I WISH I COULD SEE A BURNING BUSH,
AND LIKE MOSES. BE CALLED TO SOME IMPORTANT TASK.
I WOULD BE QUICK TO RESPOND AND PUT ALL OTHER THINGS BEHIND,
IF ONLY IN HIS PRESENCE I COULD BASK.

I CHOSE HIM LONG AGO TO BE MY SAVIOR AND MY GUIDE,
I’VE GONE TO CHURCH AND MY TITHE I’VE ALWAYS GIVEN,
I’VE SUNG IN THE CHOIR AND BEEN AN USHER.
AND I KNOW MY PLACE IS SECURE IN HEAVEN.

WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY? OF COURSE I’VE LISTENED TO HIS WORD.
AND YES, I’VE HEARD THE PASTOR AND HIS PREACHING,
AND I’VE FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT WIELD HIS SWORD.
MY HEART WAS STIRRED FOR I’VE LOVED THE PASTOR’S TEACHING.
DID I NOT HEAR HIS VOICE, YOU SAY, CALLING ME TO DO HIS WILL?
IT WAS NOT TO ME HE WAS SPEAKING.
AS I RECALL THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I THOUGHT SO, BUT STILL.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN ANOTHER HE WAS SEEKING.

BUT IF HE WANTS TO USE ME, WHAT MORE CAN I SAY,
JUST LET ME SEE THAT BURNING BUSH AND I’LL BE ON MY WAY.

DO YOU NEED A BURNING BUSH?
