Feel Good Wednesday #31

Today I'm featuring one of the songs from Leeland. When I heard Leeland sing this song during the concert this last weekend, it really touched my heart. The words are so true. "There are schools full of hatred. Even churches have forsaken love and mercy." Just last week there was a story of a young boy who had been set on fire by fellow classmates. Do we even know what our children are facing in the school systems today? I bet our minds couldn't even wrap around what all the children face today. So different than when we were in school. We really need to pray for our children and school systems...even the teachers. Then there are churches. Churches having too much politics. Churches forgetting why they were even established. Lord, help us!

Tears of the Saints

There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People’s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In its state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children, in Christ you stand!
Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children, in Christ you stand!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home
