Be where God is

BWGI (Be Where God Is)
by John Fischer

Watching helpless hungry eyes on your screen
Feeling so far away what does it mean
Can you walk away and forget it
Blame it on some false god
Can you look at it and let it
Pass right through your heart

You can’t bring a cup of cold water to someone
If you’ve never thirsted
You can’t heal a heart if your heart’s never been broken
You can’t forgive a sin that you’ve never done
Or you never thought you could do
Put that bandage away
It’s too small to cover the wound

You can’t really love the truth till you’ve been trapped by the lie
You can’t wipe a tear away till there’s one in your eye
And while the face behind the mirror
May not be streaked with pain
Any face outside your window
Is still a mirror just the same

Everyone has their own wounds
Everyone’s qualified
The heart that knows it’s breaking
Is the one that was crucified

You can bring a cup of cold water to someone
If you know you’re thirsty
You can heal a heart if your heart’s ever been broken
You can forgive a sin that you’ve never done
‘Cause you know you’re guilty too
Put that bandage away
There’s no need to cover the wound
–words and music by John Fischer

Instead of WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) it should have been BWGI (Be Where God Is).

We will see injustice and go and interrupt it by making what is wrong, right, because that is where God is.

We understand deeply the pain of the hungry and empower them with more than just food, because that is where God is.

We will clearly see sex trade and put a halt to the practice by rescuing women and girls because that is where God is.

We will identify with sinners, because that is where God is.
