Larry Holders’ lyrics:
Verse 1
Look around in the ocean of faces
Questions that linger so deep in the heart
Though it is day, they are lost in the darkness
How will they ever find the Answer?
Yet all around them are countless believers
Who hoard the Kingdom's golden treasure...
Chorus
Who will reach out for the fallen? (...do we see
them?)
Who will share with them the Answer?
Past the comfort of all our daily living
Reaching out to another ---
To our brother ---
Verse 2
Jesus came to redeem us forever
Leaving His throne in His Kingdom above
Willing to suffer and die for His children,
Willing to lay aside His
glory.
How can we, then, soon forget we are ransomed
To share the gladness of the
Gospel?
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
When shall we see.
For this we were given our liberty!
Help us to see...
For this we were given our liberty!
Half Verse Repeat
Willing to suffer and die for His children,
Willing to lay aside His
glory.
How can we, then, soon forget we are ransomed
To share the gladness of the
Gospel?
Repeat Chorus
Paul Gentry’s lyrics:
Verse
1
Kneeling down, to await our Master
The weight on my shoulders is weighing
me down
How can this be that our world falls
around me?
Can't we see that He's our Savior?
How can we see that His plan is in motion
When eyes fail to see His Glory?
Chorus Where's the love
between our neighbors? (I just can't see it)
The foundation of
our Fathers?
Where's the vision that built our
country with God's word
reflecting
His Spirit? (Spirit)
Verse 2 Reaching out to the
Children around me
The look in their eyes aren't
reflecting the Son
How can this be we neglected our
purpose?
Don't we know that they're our future?
Why can't we raise up a family that
honors
He who gave to us our freedom?
2nd Chorus Where's the
urgency within us? (we're just not trying)
The adoration for
our Savior?
Where's the focus for His Son who
will lead us
from this
land to live within His Kingdom (Kingdom)
Bridge How can this
be? Jesus gave His life for me
How can this be? He gave His all to set me free
How can this be? Where will we let this lead? (this lead)
Half
Verse 3 How can
this be that we're losing direction
and fall
short of His expectations?
When will we feel oh the need for
salvation
and
follow He who leads all nations?
3rd Chorus Where's the
love between our neighbors?
The adoration for
our Savior?
Where's the focus for His Son who
will lead us
from this
land to live within His Kingdom (His Kingdom)
