A heart for the Nations
Verse 1:
There are children starving, crying, dying
Nations in crisis, no hope for the future
Lost in this world like sheep without shepherd
Is there no balm, no balm in Gilead
The creation longs for the revealing
Of the children of the living God
Chorus:
Oh God, we're crying to you
Give us a heart, a heart of compassion
Oh God, we're crying to you
Give us a heart, a heart for the nations
Verse 2
The harvest is ripe, so few the laborers
What use is salt if it's lost it's savor
We must be light in the midst of this darkness
To spread His love, hope and forgiveness
Turn our hearts back to the heartbeat of the Father
It's the longing of our hearts, our one desire
Chorus
Oh God, we're crying to you
Give us a heart, a heart of compassion
Oh God, we're crying to you
Give us a heart, a heart for the nations
We will go, we will go
Send us Lord, we will go
Here I am send me
Here I am send me
For the Lord needs somebody
Here I am (Who will go) Send me X 2
I will go, I will
Send me Lord, I will go
