IT COSTS
by Eva Haglund
(Stockholm, Sweden)
Counseling at breakfast,
talking about the cost;
I could not go because
I did not have the price.
My friends could not go either,
because they could not afford to pay;
My heart was sad thinking,
" Do people have to give
before they get comforted?"
They without money -
are stopped at the door?
Were they who did not have enough
at home for breakfast
Welcome to the meal?
Jesus shared the breakfast
at the sea without fee.
The Samaritan comforted too
without a price for he.
Was not the gospel for the poor?
Or just for them with money?
In the church would be agape,
To share our bread and honey.
Will the Bread of life -
the Word from heaven cost?
The Bread came to Bethlehem (House of Bread)
For you, and I, and all lost.
Would He be welcome today?
Or would we close the door?
He gave His life, His Bread,
He gave his life for the poor.
Share His love to all,
Even as you are able.
Open the door
To the Star in a stable.
Rev.22:16, Luke 10:30-37
