110% sold-out

You lived among the least of these
The weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away.

All my needs you have supplied.
When i was dead you gave me life.
How could i not give it away so freely?

And i`ll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God.
Follow you into the world.

Use my hands use my feet
To make your kingdom come

Through the corners of the earth
Until your work is done

`Cause faith without works is dead
And on the cross your blood was shed
So how could i not give it away so freely?

And i`ll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God.
Follow you into the world.
(x2)

I give all myself!
Lord, I give all myself!
And I give all myself to you!
"Follow you"
-Leeland

Hey ya'll, thats what it means to be a rebel: "following Jesus into the world". This is what It means to be sold-out: "giving all of yourself". Does that mean that everyone should be a missionary? Nope, but every Christian should give their all. Itz soo tough.

One way to "give yourself" is to go to teens4orphans.org and take the fifty dollar challenge. Another way is by dedication in prayer. Prayer is an awesome way to make a difference. You can also join the prayer team at teens4orphans.org. But these are just two ways to empower you to live110% sold out. Another way would be to make your own TfO team in your state, (go to teens4orphans.org).

You get the point?

    Woah, I doubt it was chance that I just listened to that song. Like, seriously, I was sitting in my room and thought, "Hey, I haven't heard that really cool song from Leeland in a while." So I hopped over to YouTube, listened to the song, and less than an hour later, I come across this! Sweetness. I'll sign up for the TfO prayer team, and see if I can do more!

    Isaiah 58:6-7

    "Is not this the fast that I choose:
    to loose the bonds of wickedness,
    to undo the straps of the yoke,
    to let the oppressed go free,
    and to break every yoke?
    Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
    and bring the homeless poor into your house;
    when you see the naked, to cover him,
    and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
