“Second Mile”

This Sunday we had the band Second Mile leading worship. Here are some. verses and lyrics from Sunday

Matthew 5:41 “If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.”

1 Peter 1:22 ”Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.”

Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.”

Ephesians 5:1-2 “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”

Isaiah 35:8-9 “And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there.”

Lyrics by Russ Lee
A single mum on the back row at a church outside of town
No one sits beside her, her kids are kind of loud
She never misses a Sunday she does the best she can
Faith gives her the strength she needs to stand

It's Monday morning her telephone rings
When She finally answers I begin to speak
My kids they know your kids from Sunday school they say
We wanted to know can your kids come and play

The second mile may be as simple as a smile
For a broken hearted mother and a fatherless child
The second mile it starts with just one step
With the Father's help, we give ourselves
And we go the second mile

You pass his house every morning
He sits there all alone
He rarely leaves that front porch
Since his wife's been gone
85 last Friday
There were no balloons or cake
What a difference some time with you could make

The Second mile may be as simple as a smile
For a broken hearted husband who's been alone for a while
The second mile starts with just one step
With the Father's help we give ourselves

The greatest love that ever was
Walked the longest road
When His Spirit lives in us
We have no choice we must go
The Second Mile
The Second Mile it starts with just one step
With the Father's help we give of ourselves and go the second mile
