Perfume

 

Perfume

We have been given the task of spreading Your Word

To the world and to anyone who would listen

Our lives are meant to be examples of You

To radiate the light of Your kingdom here on earth

To live in such a way that we smell like Jesus

Like a perfume we are smelled as a blessing

A blessing to the believer as a refreshing smell

But to those who have yet to believe in Him

Let the radical change You’ve done inside us

Pour out of us like a sweet sweet fragrance 

May it waft into the nostrils of those around

Drawing people into Your kingdom O God

By the kind and sweet ways we live our lives

May people smell the sweet fruits of Your Spirit

And be pulled in by Your grace and mercy 

Mercies that are new every single morning

Grace that is sufficient and works in our weakness

Let others smell Your goodness upon us 

May others feel the warmth of Your love in us

And seek out the smell of Your sweet presence

Which is better than anything this life could offer

Tastes and smells sweeter than anything else
