Light and salt

Matthew 5:13-16 New International Version (NIV)
Salt and Light
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Light and salt
You created me for a purpose divine,
here on this earth,representing, yes, a branch of the vine.
A pointer to YOU, Father, as YOUR light, to shine.
All that i’ve achieved so far, i take no credit, none of the glory is mine.
To reach forth to the lost, the hurting, the quitting, the broken.
I, among your children, YOU have called, are equipping and have chosen,
so this task i do not take lightly,
cause i know each second i waste leisurely,
a soul towards hell is pushed slightly.
Pleasure, lust, luxury.. cooked and steaming,
dished out, presenting themselves temptingly,
expecting, from me, a ”yes please”, and ”oh, of course’,foolishly
but on YOU and YOUR work,i keep my eyes faithfully…never off course.
Sin is sugarcoated
and this world has a sweet tooth.
Now more than ever, you are needed
to help spread the truth.
In this darkness, people are stumbling and falling
for an answer, for light they are calling.
People are amassing wealth, money
and biting into and muching on tasteless chunks of life and living
for meaning, satisfaction, for salt they are searching.
Times ticking
tick, tock, tick, tock
each second people are dying.
Light of the world, salt of the earth
take your place in this race
and your duties, stop neglecting.
The harvest is plenty
but the labourers are few.
This world is broken, hurting and empty,
what it needs is me and you.
