Why am I not broken

When I see the souls still lost?

Why do I not care for, or notice

The very people Jesus, inside me, died for?

I once was there

Lost and confused

Till someone cared

and showed me Jesus

Can't I be the same

And hurt for the lost?

And reach out,

As many have done...

...For me

Lord, I'm so desensitized

To the sin in this world

The things that make you cry

Oh, I'm lucky if I notice enough to shrug it away!

But I once was there

Broken and lost

But you! Jesus YOU cared

You came to save me...

...but also to save them.

You created them too,

Not just me

There's a plan for them

Like the one for me

Lord forgive me

For being so selfish!

I've been hiding my light

Been greedy with your blessing.

Break my heart for

Those hurting people.

We're the same sinners,

I'm just forgiven

But they're not

And you want them to be.

Lives. Souls. They're all your creation.

Death. Hell. Sin's destination.

But you so loved the world

that you sent your son

So we could have

Life! Everlasting Life

With our Father!

Life! Everlasting Life

With our Creator!

He loves us all the same

And wills for us to spend

Life! Everlasting life

With Him.

Forgive us for keeping you secret

For the world outside

Doesn't know you at all.

We're called to be in the world

But not to be of it

Forgive us for doing

Just the opposite.

We've compromised, and done our time

In the wilderness.

Lord, please raise up a Joshua

and lead us into your promised land!
