Title: The Call - Original Song View count: 463 Rating: 5.0 (7 ratings) Description: If you believe in the message of this song, please share it with someone you think needs to hear God's Call. The song that was born out of the crying mess God made of me this at church this week - when He planted the seed of sorrow for this world in me... and the burden to speak out against the silence - of the work that MUST be done. The story that the man (Dave Gibbons) shared with us at church, was that of a fearless woman speaking up against human trafficking: http://blog.ted.com/2009/11/the_buzz_sunith.php Check out her organization's website: http://www.prajwalaindia.com/home.html (Once I have a better version, will update with a link) **** LYRICS: The Call Today I heard a man He spoke of people suffering Of little girls that fell prey to evil deeds of men. I heard in lengthy details And how the words pierced through my soul I wept in silent agony, while my heart cried out, oh Lord! What are we wasting our time on? God, Youre calling us now To be Your voice in this world Your hands and Your feet as well How can we sit so silently? When the time to work is right now Lord have mercy on us all Open our ears to Your Call I went home still shaken By the message I had heard Wanting to help in any way But not quite knowing how. Then I had to do my laundry And those bills they have to be paid! Ive so much already on my plate I forgot what I had heard What are we doing every day? Living our comfortable lives What about the urgency? The workers are so few. How can we quickly just forget The vision God placed on our hearts We should see the world with Kingdom eyes And love Your children as You do BR: Heal our eyes that we might see Heal our ears that we might hear Our hearts must understand The Call to serve You... What are we wasting our time on? God, youre calling us now To be Your voice in this world Your hands and your feet as well How can we sit so silently? When the time to work is right now Lord have mercy on us all Open our ears to Your Call We are your hands We are your feet We are Your servants Lord send us! ~S. Written 0811209.
