Maggie lives on Second Street
Downtown by the river
She looks away from everyone she meets
They've got no time to give her
Because on her shoulder is a scarlet letter
And nobody told her she could do better
I've got no stone to throw
No axe to grind
I look at Maggie's life
And I see mine
I see somebody searchin' for somethin'
A little love and understanding
And the longer I know the Lord
The more I know
I've got no stone to throw
Maggie wears a cross of gold
But she don't know why
She says she tried religion once
But it made her cry
She's been to hell and back so many times
And she's done anything to survive
Maggie lives in every town
And people talk about her
'Cause it's easier to put her down
Than to care about her
But she has a Savior; He is her Judge
Oh, Maggie, you deserve to be loved

Recently I have been enjoying songs from way back.
This Sierra one is a favorite of ours. It struck me
this morning though....
Do I have a Maggie?
How am I showing her love?
Am I doing all that the Lord has asked of me?
Something to think and pray about for sure.
How can I minister and reach out to those around me
that are hurting and desperately need my Savior?

I have never heard this song, but I like it. I've been thinking about camps this summer, and about trying to reach out particularly to the kid who is always sitting alone. There's always someone like that, isn't there? I am praying the Lord will give me more of a heart for the lost.
wow. a powerful song. this same thought has been on my mind for the past year or so. do we judge the person who looks or acts different, or do we love?critisizing is always easier than caring.
