Let's share the Good News
With the people who are lonely
And the people who are homeless
And the people who are only
Searching for a glimpse of meaning
In the desert of despair
As they drown in information
Never knowing God is there
Let's share the Good News
Let's share the Good News
Let's share the Good News with the world
Let's share the Good News
With the people we play sports with
And the people that we work with
Or share random online thoughts with
Let's go out and share God's Love with
All the people we live near
Though they may seem to ignore us
At some level they will hear
Let's share the Good News
Let's share the Good News
Let's share the Good News with the world
(Instrumental)
Let's share the Good News
With the people who are broken
Or are trapped in their addictions
Or whose faith has not been woken
Let's go out and share God's Love with
Everyone who suffers pain
Everybody who needs comfort
Help them learn to hope again
Let's share the Good News
Let's share the Good News
Let's share the Good News with the world
Let's share the Good News with the world
John 13:1-15
Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" Jesus answered him, "What I am doing ayou do not understand now, but afterward you will understand." Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no share with me." Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!" Jesus said to him, "The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you." gFor he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "Not all of you are clean."
When he had washed their feet and hput on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me kTeacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
cf: Matthew 1:1-8, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 1:6
