Time for Singing

So today has been a tiring but awesome day. I did compassion unleashed today, a community outreach through the Link. I am pretty tired so I am gonna make today's short. I will more than likely write about Compassion Unleashed tomorrow; my mind is sleepy right now. I just woke up from a crash nap.

Nonetheless, I am probably so tired because I didn't go to bed until one o'clock last night. I was still thinking about all the need in the world, and getting ready for today made it a relevant subject. So instead of sleeping, I started playing around on my keyboard. I came up with an awesome music line, so of course I had to make lyrics to it. And what else would come to mind but all the need in the world that I could be helping meet? I blame Slumdog Millionaire. It some how drug on until one am, so this is what I came up with.

God of mercy
God of grace
Open my eyes
To see your face

The face of Your children
The face of the broken
The face of poverty
The face of the orphan

I cannot fathom
The need for Your love
I have so much more
Than most can dream of

I think I know suffering
Over the smallest thing
But then I take a glance
At another's circumstance

Break my heart
Lord, break my heart
Show me how
To love them now

I want to show them
The hope You bring
How You have given
Your life, as an offering

To ensure freedom
To ensure salvation
You offer a second chance
No matter the circumstance

Break my heart,
Lord, break my heart
Show me how
To love them now

Let them know,
The life You gave
When You died
And rose from the grave

I want to heal and
Restore the broken
Through Your love
So they may know freedom
