Saw it in the news today Images that froze me on my way Something deep within was stirred A feeling that was lost I'd left unturned Your love and compassion for the lost Your peace that floods the innermost Your strength to raise a helping hand Your heart that brings healing to the land May I see it through Your eyes See each person as a valued prize Take me from the comforts that I hold It won't take a tragedy for me to show Your love and compassion for the lost Your peace that floods the innermost Your strength to raise a helping hand Your heart that brings healing to the land I don't wanna turn the other way There's an urgency I know Your heart goes out to them each and every day You're calling for the church to rise and show Your love and compassion for the lost Your peace that floods the innermost Your strength to raise a helping hand Your heart that brings healing to the land
