The Resume

I waited patiently for the interview
I wasn�'t sure what I would say or do

Several before me were dressed to kill
Confident in their abilities and skill

Detailing each and every accomplishment
Self-assurance in how they would present

So much talent and good looks, too
What chance did I have after they�'re thru

�

I reflected on my life what I have done
Because of poor choices I was shunned

Mistakes and missteps too many made
And too many times I was played

Others can speak of how they excelled
While in my life many times I failed

I had no idea what I would do or say
A blank sheet of paper was my resume

�

Each one before me came out with a smile
Saying that Jesus was impressed by their style

Great things they would do with GOD onboard
They would build effective ministries for the Lord

Using their riches much good they would do
Out with the old and worthless in with the new

They congratulated each other but left me out
Someone like me knows what that is about

�

Then my name was called and I went in
Very much aware of my past and sin

I was surprised to see Jesus looking sad
Knew in my heart that this would be bad

I sat down and handed Jesus my resume
Soon this would be over I�'d be on my way

Jesus asked me what I wanted Him to do
�"Nothing, Lord, I just desire to be near You�"

�"Finally, I found one whose heart is right
Who I can trust to walk by faith not sight

Who is poor in spirit knowing their needs
Who is not above the task of sowing seeds

Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me
Together we�'ll work in ways others cannot see

An idol is an idol no matter how it�'s dressed
By your humility others will be blessed�"

�

What my heart desired but life did not deserve
Became my reality as with Jesus others I serve

Each day in His presence always on His mind
Rejoicing as the Lord opens the eyes of the blind

Seeing themselves thru eyes of love not sin
Finally for the hurting the healing will begin

I saw one sitting waiting for an interview
A blank sheet of paper what will they do
